Cary, well sometimes that's the way it goes. I will look at an article and like it from my point of view, and you will think it is "crap" from your point of view.
In your post you said, <<You disappoint me.>> I am sure that is not the last time that will occur.
<<It doesn't help your investment success if you can't distinguish good fundamental articles from bad, and can't tell when someone doesn't really know what they are talking about.>>
I don't think reading articles, either good or bad, has much to do with investment success or not, good stock picking and timing are much more important. Also, investment style can vary immensely from person to person. What works for some may not be someone else's "cup of tea".
I think we all need to contribute to this thread without being too critical of each others opinions or words that are used to describe our feelings or outlook on different subjects. Remember, the only way we can communicate with each other on these threads is through "writing". We do not have the opportunity to sit down with each other, face to face, over a cup of coffee to really communicate our feelings and reach understandings. When we can only write to each other, we need to be tolerant of possible misunderstandings.
