Hello Dipy,
**Even if the cyclical bear ends and is followed by a cyclical bull, it will all be in the larger context of a secular bear market that will last at least for a decade, if not longer. But that is another story...)**
I wonder if you realize that your arrogance has an amazing similarity to that of the bulls in 1999 and early 2000? Some of us LTBH investors that have not yet given up painfully realize that we must cope with some know-it-all pompous a**es, in addition to fraudulent executives and accountants, cyclical economies, and governments out to "help" us. When we have survived, and prospered, I suspect that you will spin the history differently than the written record that you have compiled here.
There is a corollary to "What goes up, must come down." I am continually underwhelmed by your lack of humility, and am trying to condition myself to treat you and others of your ilk with genuine compassion when we have our day.
Best of luck to you, Dipy.
