Re: <<If you consider me questioning someone about their motives "beating up" that person when in fact they were not clear in their postings, you have a very low threshold for disagreement.>>
If you consider those words to be too strong, I withdraw them.

God, I love the archiving features of SI!
I admit being too conservative in my recovery forecast, but at least I was correct on the direction of the market.

Sorry, I usually only quote the points I am speaking to. I wasn't trying to make any kind of case against you as a person. I just thought the complaints from you and others about that one post from Wildstar were overdone.
For the record, I have a lot of respect for you, because you are the one person who, more than any other on this thread, has kept the faith in presenting the bull case through the market's darkest hours. |
