hi uf,
1. Do you attribute the decline in volume and quality of posts on the g&k forum to a loss of interest in Gorilla gaming, the tech crash, or to the vocal detractors who have camped on the thread.
no, i think the decline is because G&K portfolios, and the market in general, have not done well this year or last year, so posting numbers have declined. this is clearly the case w/r/t stock message board traffic throughout the Internet--a bad market causes people to lose interest in stock chat threads. i would say this thread has just experienced what is going on elsewhere as well.
as to vocal detractors, well, tell me who they are and i'll send them a nasty PM! :)
seriously, it is not hard to cut through the BS, and i would say that a lot of the contrarian information posted here is worthy of consideration. one thing to remember is that some of the contrarians posting here are not exactly permabears; from what i hear, one or two used to be raging bulls streaking through the Bubbleonian orgy back when men were men and bears were scared. ahh, doze wuz da days...
sure, it might not be fun to hear the bear cubs pawing at the mindshare Igloo while one is in the tent trying to listen to a nice bedtime story by George Gilder (my favorite ones are in his nice collection, "The Telecosm"), but as Bill Cosby once said: be careful or you might learn something! |
