Hello Maurice, what have you done that qualifies as altruistic, today, yesterday, lately, or ever?
To frame a conversation, definitions are important, parameters are crucial, and rules are paramount.
BTW, if owning QCOM and phragging photons is considered altruistic, which I suspect you would claim, then I qualify, and if not, I also qualify, and if neither nor, bingo yet again.
I do not claim that my life's mission is to be altruistic, but it is certainly not to lose my money to the money gods, thus I am able to help those around me. For losing money, I leave to the village idiots and their destined volcanoes.
<<You shouldn't claim to be altruistically trying to save me though>>
... is close to revisionist claptrap that will see thousands die while getting a sun tan in the desert. How do you know I would not try to save the next Q-mug if he had chanced within range of me? We must save one at a time, methodically, with perseverance, and apparently, infinite patience.
I figure I am safe to claim that of all the folks you know and do not know, I of all spent mucho effort pounding into you the idea that QCOM is a sell.
It is enough said that you DID sell down your Q, in a most un-altruistic manner, even while you talked up phragging photons, as did the likes of George whatever and Blodget whatever else.
At the end of SI, if we are not here to exchange ideas and alter minds, our own or those of fellow posters, what would be the point of this perpetual cocktail party?
You do see that you are wrong, do you not?
I guess not, since you are a certified Greensputin-faithful, and in your mind, he is probably altruistic. As time passes, you will, without a doubt, revert to revisionism, become an apologist, and chant ‘he was just doing his job, and I mine, for the sake of Q’. It is what the money houses and stock cheerleaders have been saying for the past three sorry years.
