Mark, I tried to give Peter a way out. He confirmed in his first post that he invested for 16 years. All he had to do was to say he had acquired the trusts as mutual funds prior to that time. He did not. He then reverses field the next day and then attacks me for stating what was in his posts, not mine.

It is a curious rationale that Peter operates on. Because he says it is so, it is. He refers to facts that support his position but how does one support over the internet their investing pattern over 16 years. Did Peter post in 1986 about his purchases so they could be verified. Of course not. There was no internet so we are left with taking his word as to what he did or did not do. While I disagree with Peter's investment approach, I really had no reason to disbelieve what he said was his investment basis for a long period of time. His investment approach is very consistent with his personality on the thread, that of a very dogmatic narrow minded individual but boy when someone complains as much as he did about something that he could have easily clarified, it makes you wonder. Maybe Peter thinks he is Garth Turner. Certainly both get on my nerves.

Onto the real world. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to the Shell/Penzoil deal. Probably will help the O&G stocks rather than the trusts. I sold about 1/3 of my trusts last week but only sold a little of the O&G shares that I intend to sell before month end. Hopefully get a bit of a bounce.

Regards
