Dale, I would not expect AS to answer your questions. You really need to check out his history. There are more people on rande's thread who have him on ignore than who read his posts.
I personally find him dangerous to newbies reading these threads. While I doubt that affects anyone here at Sharck's place - here is just a taste of some of his history:
Just today - AS admits he doesn't even know what a current ratio is:

A couple days ago - he admits that until this January - he never looked at at earnings, market caps, cash, debt, etc. in picking stocks and that he doesn't understand technical analysis

His idea of being right is - He can make a call on a stock, it will go done for 6 months, then recover - and he thinks he is right. In fact he says - and I quote "I bought and plugged ANF and BEBE 15 months ago and no one listened. They went down and down. Finally six months later they tripled. I was right in my reasoning but the market was against me at the time. No one even understood why. Those picks were just scary to people until others bought first." HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HE WAS DEAD WRONG FOR 6 MONTHS - and just bouncing back to even after 15 months of making a call is not a win !!!

OH - and then of course there is his lieing about his gains and being nailed red-handed:

Shoot, He has been calling LU since $30, WCOM since $40, LOR since $8 among others. Anyone who doubts me - just go to Rande's thread and due a search on those tickers. You'll find post after post from AS endlessly pumping these losers forever.
So Dale, to expect him to answer your question about interest rates and the market is expecting far too much.
Now of course he is entitled to his opinion, but everyone should give it the weight that it is worth |
