To quote that immortal philosopher Dirty Harry - Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, Punk?

I was wondering if maybe you got smart and covered at the end of August when the stock hit $31.50? No? I suspect you are continuing to make that classic investing mistake of holding on to your beloved idea long after the market has told you to Get Over It and move on.

Many thanks to Basher Exposed, who has shown how you have worked in the past. It must have made you feel like a God in December, when you had made such a good call and rode KCI down from $50 or $60 to $17.86. Too bad you couldn't let go of your trash-talk story about the VAC and management (they both have their issues, but you just couldn't quite get the scale of the issues right, you know - that's the problem of feeling like a God) and just take your profits. How does it feel to have watched half of those gains go Poof? How does it feel to have lost another 10% since our little tiff in August? Still feeling cocky? "Well, do you, punk?"

And with regard to your post of August 18, is that really what you did? Did you buy the Jan $20 and $22.5 puts? Did you already have them and you were just hoping someone would listen to your blarney and make a market in them so you could get out?

If you hadn't been such a wicked little boy all this time, I could actually feel some pity for you. But actually you have just been small-minded and mean-hearted, so I (sheepishly, I must admit) delight in your pain.

But then, you may still feel like a God. You may still be convinced you know the TRUTH, and that all the investors in the company are idiots (hear that Goldman Sachs?). Well, do you punk?
