Ken, merely because someone points out what they think about an issue, and someone has said it before, does not necessarily mean they are lemmings. If that were true, anyone who ever repeated the idea that the Y2K problem in imbedded systems is very real and of grave concern would be a lemming, as that idea has been stated daily on the TAVA thread for quite some time.
When SI requires that all posters have at least one original idea in each post, we can cut each thread down to about three posts per day. People discuss the same ideas over and over again on the threads. In your mind, if these people are long, they are thinking individuals, but if they are short, they suddenly become mindless followers.
Give it up. Shorters are not a cult. Bill, Pink, Barb, Asensio, et al are not my "leaders." Their posts have provided me with certain shorting ideas, which I can discuss with them, but it is up to me to do my own DD, and short only those stocks which I believe have a chance of dropping in price. Anyone that blindly follows advice given on SI, long or short, gets what they deserve.
SI is about the discussion of companies, and more specifically their stock price. I can point to many dogmatic longs on the threads. Bill provides a valuable counterpoint to these individuals when he deems it necessary, and thereby promotes "discussion" of whether he is right or wrong. Tell Bill he is wrong, tell him why. Just don't call me a lemming for either reading this thread or perhaps shorting a stock that Bill has mentioned here.
FWIW, I have no position in TAVA. |
