I have 'never ever written' any post to SI administration turning anyone in. That is just not me. I don't like writing to them. I don't think that we should have this 'big brother' attitude and censorship, but that is a my own view.
Real people are known when they are subject to test of 'criticism', they will just reveal themselves, it is for this you need to maintain a company for sometime to know a real person, SI with this 'censorship of thoughts' stops the process of critical test and after sometime when the real face emerges, we get shocked that 'is this the smae person!'
Let the free flow of abuse continue, let people vent out their anger and let the one's who are under scrutiny show the class required of them.
I am positive on the markets consider these markets as oversold and will likely see them at much higher levels, my targets are 1428 on SPX, NAZ 3800-4200 and DOW 11500, we may see daily VIX and huge monentum but I think we are seeing a great deal of undervaluation here, NOK is the first to drive hte nail in, second will come soon..
I have learnt one thing in life you don't become big by riding on someone else 'discredits' or 'credits', it is for this I have maintained this home for several years, I am a free soul, a bird with a global view, this is my home,I canot be trapped in chains from 8.00 to 5.00, for me an hour spend with someone I care is better than a million made. I have always championed investments as one of the activity of our daily lives, not the only purpose of life. Money is important but to make it is simple without associated hatred.I have learnt this over number of years, have progressed or say evolved, refined my sharper edges and feel more comfortable with me now than ever.
I still lament that my critics are not 'Cohen' or Buffet but blokes who have no idea what markets or economy is made off.The reason for that is this thread has very ordinary profile and very ordianry level of comprehension, I should do better to get better people here..
Money for me is not a serious enough a business to sell my honor for or make my opinions a saleable commodity, I always have one thing in life 'if I was so good why should I sell my opinions'. The original intent of this SI is to share views amongst 'amateur investors' we are like a big community of 'aware investors' and we try to share our views with best of our ability. This cyber space is our neighbour hood, being wrong or right is not important rather being 'truthful' or 'honorable' and uphold our long held traditions is the objective.
That is what counts, creation of a meeting place of like minded people, a lounge where we come home and expect 'Ike to come up with something foolish and extra-ordinarily new' that is why people still read me, not because I am right, my levels make sense, my daily postings are always their to be seen and my home never changes. We call markets on daily basis, Cohen makes twice a year forecasts, we have a greater burden to carry and that also for sake of comfort of the all the majority of longs who like to see where this ordeal is going to end..I write keeping that little 'pain' in mind of that small investor who hates to see 'end of the world' kind of statements, an investor who likes to see that by year 2005 when his kids go to school he will see enough returns from his 401K. When markets are down 400 points it is a brave man to come and say we will be alright, this is going to pass, may be that is something that does not meet the pristine objective of 'master traders here on SI'..
That is what matters, their is certain 'honor amongst thieves and scum of mankind' however some souls burning in hatred even break the long held traditions of so called established honor amongst thieves and scums that when proven wrong even scums move on or mend themselves.., but some trying to bring the others down will keep burning, man of honor disregard all this, admit their failings and try to be a better person. Every 'long moment' for big people like Gandhi, Martin Luther is made up of 'oiriginality and consistent dialogue' these are positions where fear an intimidation is overlooked. That is how a big man is created, a coward therefore will never be a big man, we small people follow the shawdows of great people and learn from them, let's get rid of this cowardice, to hate others or discredit others, let's get the best out of us and be the best with all our failings. The first thing, I have learnt from biographies of big people is the realisation of 'smallness of self and apptitude'. The ever growing desire to bring the best out of person, to be able to say 'sorry' all the time if someone is hurt, not to make ego a stumbling stone.
I am so small that to react to any insult or humiliation is not worth it, I am trying to become big, the way ahead is so full of 'virtue' and 'self-sacrifice' only, let thee flowers of love keep coming htey make me a better person, make my self controls better, I look back and feel good that I have leanrt an art that was not me just few years back. On balance I am a GRATEFUL soul, I think I am foolish trader but a better human being that what matters,,. |
