Steve, Surely you can see the difference between H60's predictions and the hype of so many cheerleaders on so many of the other threads! Yeah, he's made a lot predictions that have not panned out quite the way he expected/hope, but, as someone who has had plenty of expectations dashed over the years, I find myself more in sympathy with him than not, especially since he has avoided the usual vituperative language and reactions of so many "cheerleaders" when their "predictions go awry. There are many, many "famous" investors who have far more egg on their face and have reacted with far more vindictiveness than Hawaii has out there. Did you happen to catch Wall Street Week last Friday, with Ruykeyser opening his questioning of Barton Biggs of Morgan Stanley with the comment something like, "Barton, you been a bear for many years now....", and Biggs got red in the face as he muttered, "Well, not ,many years..." Well, actually, it has been many years now,longer than Hawaii has been predicting 60 or more on the stock.
This is a long-winded way of agreeing with Herschel--cut the man some slack. You've sometimes accused him of acting on insider information, and then other times of being a manipulative hypester. The guy does the best he can, you don't have to read his posts, and you certainly don't have to buy options or stock based on what he says. |
