As a very long term holder of DELL, I'm constantly looking for 'cracks' in the foundation of my castle, and as such, value negative opinions more than positive ones. I already see enough positives. I also appreciate the difference between new and established positions, and the difficulty facing traders who must time their exit and re-entry accurately enough to cover taxes and commissions just to break even on a round-trip. When someone shares an opinion, I need to examine the facts which led to that opinion's formation, and only then, can I determine if those facts, and the conclusion they support is valid in my case. Often it is not. Sometimes it is. Very few people have nothing of value to offer. Those who listen must filter what they hear: It's their responsibility. Those who are upset by your analysis have a responsibility of supporting their criticism with facts, for without facts, we're simply exchanging opinion. As long as an opinion is supported by facts, it deserves examination: without facts, it deserves dismissal.
Also of some use: If the ideas you're using to build your position are not generally accepted and/or understood, a brief explanation is not only welcome, but necessary.
Cheers, PW.
P.S. Don't become discouraged by the venom. It shows we're listening. |
