You are just in time for fall semester, congratulations; you have attracted one of the best and toughest professors here at SIU. Lots of freshmen flunk out or become cynical and major in liberal arts. Though emotion can cloud critical thinking and defensiveness can inhibit worth while self-introspection we all benefit from an effort to find the kernel of wisdom, when one is being offered.
I offer only one point worth your consideration. After one of Ah's lectures, directed to you, you did not directly respond to him but addressed your criticism to the thread community. There is only one reason for this, a personal nerve was struck and defense sprang into play in an attempt to erode credibility of the lecturer among supposed 'peers'.
I am not taking sides, nor casting judgement. I am only suggesting that you reread it yourself, view your own emotion and look for the sore spot that knee-jerked that response. Believe it or not, in his very harsh and very challenging style, from his perspective that is what he is provoking you to do.
On the other hand, you can drop his class as you stated you did with ignore, seeing it all as a waste of time and he as the ‘all time loser’ you have labeled him.
To each his own.
For any criticisms of his 'predictions' with this stock, he has never been slow to admit the market has changed, factors have altered and bets are off…and without any face saving fluff. On the plus side, he has often and correctly warned of gathering storms.
His participation adds value to the thread. You do not have to like it nor approve. At times I do not myself. Style is unique, not universal and what burns one tempers another. [you may quote Solid on that one]
My two cents as I value the thread and have learned much over the last 15 months from many here. I participate in other threads, but by far have pushed myself and learned the most from this one.
You may have a lot to offer…
I wish you well.

...That summaries ahhaha's ridiculous nature in a nutshell. After such a ridiculous statement, it's not worth tearing apart his post for its inherant errors.
Unfortunately for ahhaha and his "original thinking", we live on a planet where some uniformity is required, such as language. Perhaps he is better off living on Mars where he can pontificate to no end and not be walled in by the simple things that we have on Earth such as definitions, facts, reality, falling stock prices (particularly in ahhaha's very little corner of the world), etc.
Ok, ahhaha, time for you to go and impress some freshman in class with your big words (and then drive home in your Gremlin). |
