OT What is this, "Attack Cary" day? "What drove me nuts was his inability to accept the possibility that someone elses opinion could possibly be correct." Everyone on here has strong opinions. So what? And the fact that he is not willing to take the risk of shorting proves that he is very much aware of the possibility of being wrong. "And to pick the long term stocks and then pound day after day that they are sells and will be taking a 50% haircut confused the hell out of me." That is tantamount to saying that he thinks the stock will do well in the long term but show weakness in the short term. What is so confusing about that? And what's this business about pounding day after day? He posts less than you do. I bet you wouldn't be complaining about the frequency of his posts if he agreed with you. "And then reduce the buy points on his formula as he decides to become a market timer was very disingenous." So everyone who changes his mind about a buy point is disingenuous? People's market outlook should be based on all available facts, and as the facts change, an intellectually honest prognosticator will modify his views accordingly. An intelligent investor will also reexamine his reasoning from time to time. If you see posts from someone who never changes his mind about anything, you should consider it a danger signal, because it may mean that his views are getting out of touch with reality. Look, I understand that it is difficult to handle when your investment strategy doesn't work out. It happens to me too. But trying to get people who disagree with you to post less is not the solution. Finding a better investment strategy is.
