Irt -- Slider's Record ---

Frank, I am always a bit uneasy when someone seems to buy into Slider's view of his own past performance, as you seem to have done.

I will agree that Slider has brought up many ideas worth looking into.
And he should be credited for that.
He's made some good calls.
----But he's made a number of bad calls too.
A number of them; Not just MEXP.
So have we all.
But Slider likes to present himself as having been much more right more often than has been the fact.

I strongly suggest that anyone reading this thread who believes Slider has a great record of past performance., and that he fairly and accurately describes his own record, should go back and look through the thread with charts at hand.
---Go back into the critical points of '98 and '99 and earlier this year and read what was written here then.
---Don't just accept what Slider tells you he said and did in the past.
Go back and see for yourself -- reading with a critical eye.

Slider wouldn't deserve to be faulted for his bad calls. His record is not bad, all in all.
---But he (and you) want to paint it as A Whole Lot Better Than It Is, and this should be challenged.

---Imho, Slider is a valuable contributor to this thread.
I always read his posts and I've profited from some of his ideas.
---But it should never be forgotten by the reader that he is also dishonest in his claims about his own record, and he is more a salesman than an analyst in describing the characteristics of stocks he owns/likes.

regards,
diana
