TT --
I am quite glad to see things on a great track for the Thread once again. There is not an individual who deserves this credit ... the community does as a whole!! Tremendous community.
I met Ike in NYC. I have been following the Thread from the beginning; before I signed up for SI! I have also followed you, 2 Kevin's, Judy, Lisa, OJ, Michael, etc. on TSO thread. THis is just an intro for next comments.
It took me literally 3-4,000 posts to begin to understand Ike's style. I think meeting him in person cemented the way I think of the style of posting/thinking that he exhibits. There was a post that Kbo put up of our NYC meeting with quotes, and mine related to Ike's style.
MOO (My opinion Only) is that Ike is a logician. He has a keen sense of understanding market reactions through market data and the underlying/overriding news ... world news. He can then put that into a future correlation. Yes it is merely a correlation, not a recommendation. Its a sort of "If ... Then ... Else" statement, whereby we can expect certain areas to be tested IF a cretain portion of a statement is true. There are the rare occasions where the markets divergence is such that Ike comes out with a recommendation. I believe that he has at all times reco targets for his own investment purposes, but these are quite sensitive in that they are extremely short-term (minutes) -- thus it is not worth sharing, and to do so might be even dangerous to one who might follow. When he does make a reco, it is normally not short-term, and the terms are described more in exit strategy then dates like Bernie. This is merely one man's insights and should be taken as only that. Ike, If I do have some of my thoughts wrong here, I apologize and would greatfully appreciate your correction to these statements. TT -- hope some of these thoughts might help you with Ike's style of posting. On a side note TT --- I have allways admired the steel determination with which you pursue your Futures strategy ... your strict discipline to your system away from your emotions is something I have tried to emulate, but have often failed miserably!!! My only solace in this failure is that I know I am not alone!!! <gggggg>.
