I watch this thread v carefully, follow certain posters assiduously...including you. Here's my take:
First few days (some long time ago) I noticed you, I just watched. Looked like you had/have a good touch on picking, so I dipped in. Worked very well for me...and then I got a couple that, like ILIF, didn't go anywhere. I held, assuming they'd recover from their slide, and lost on them. Reading posts the next day I was ticked to discover you'd sold without posting THAT...and then I realized you're not running my money for me, I am. My responsibility to buy in, my responsibility to pick my point to get out.
I've made far more watching your posts than I would have without you, for which I thank you much.
As someone posted here a few days ago, now when you publish a pick that alone is enough to make it move a bit...but I don't think it's hard to tell which are ready to move and which are only moving because of the number of hangers-on like me that rush to leap on your latest. So I often miss the first bit of a move, but it saves me biting on some like ILIF that just aren't ready (no offense, and no slur intended; I don't think you're pumping stocks to our detriment, just that you're not right 100% of the time, as I know you've said all along).
Do you have an ego? Hey, we all have an ego, and I'm perfectly content to permit you yours for being as right as you are as often as you are!
I join others in asking you not to leave, Jason, for very selfish reasons: I'll make less with you gone than with you here.
Thanks again,
WUWT |
