Rarebird,
Since I'm not the one who took the step of refusing to read your posts, and I never asked you to stop posting to me (only that you stop spamming me with gold eagle stuff).
And I never tried to undermine the potential short-term impact of Y2K, but I never really considered it a reason to sell-off all any stocks and go to cash and gold. I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that you were taking that radical approach to Y2K.
But hey.. the past is the past, Rarebird.
And you may consider me dogmatic, but I put my views out here for everyone to tear apart and question me on, including yourself. If someone can show me a sounder logic than the one that I'm currently using, then I would be happy to accept that.
Now you have been stating, rather dogmatically I might add, that the US economy is due to suffer stagflation. I have asked you in the past to logically detail that argument and I don't seem to recall ever receiving a satisfactory answer.
Now call me a bit melodramatic, but I honestly take this stuff seriously. I think that many people who observe the discussion on these threads, whether gold or Y2K, make some life changing decisions. I know that many people I know altered their lives for Y2K, despite my advising them not to. So advising folks that gold is going to surge through the roof is certainly something that will have a greater impact on the US economy than anything Y2K could have achieved.
So pardon me if I ask others to define their terms, or expand on their logic when they make such claims that gold is set to soar.
You seem to put all the responsibility for our bickering upon my shoulders, Rarebird. But that simply isn't the case, nor is it logical. It takes two to tango and in a fight both sides ususally wind up sharing the guilt.
So listen... I certainly am not making you a target for my posts. And I probably have little desire to engage in much extensive discussion with you unless it is mutually satisfying. So let's call it a truce Rarebird and work it like this. If I say something you don't agree with, then challenge me, or provide the alternative case. If I choose to respond, I will.... If I don't want to, I won't.
And the same parameters go for my responding to your posts. You claimed we were set for recession and a rapidly declining dollar leading to a bull market in gold. I called you on that one and now you can opt to further explain your logic or just ignore me.
Finally, I hate very few people in my life. However, I do hate how they act at many times... Ask Richard and DAK.
Regards,
Ron |
