"...at this point I am not particularly interested in a fucking lecture on investing."
That's fine... but, my focus hasn't changed, and I have no reason to change it. And, my message hasn't changed, since 2012... so I still need to replay the same lectures, constantly. Because I decided not to buy shares in 2012, but decided instead to continue to watch... waiting for the right time (if one ever came) while waiting to see the proofs I needed to see, etc. So, I have no reason at all to declare surrender and lose focus, or consider the game over, now... given I've not been playing, or losing anything. I'm still just evaluating Copper Fox for its potential (along with lots of other things)... just like I was back in 2012. That requires me to sustain exactly the same focus on it now as I had back then, and neither surrender sustaining focus due to the repeated failures we've seen from management, over the prior three years, nor make the mistake of thinking that the much lower price now must mean it HAS to be a good deal now at only $0.12... instead of $1.20 ?
So, you will continue to see my occasional posting here sustain the same focus, and themes as it has over the last few years... as I continue applying the same approach to analysis as I have in the past...
"..I've owned up to my errors"...
You have...
"and I damn sure don't need anyone characterizing my behavior as you did here. Truth be told, I don't think anyone has ever characterized me as a sheep before. I may be a poor investor, but you are one hell of a poor judge of character."
I wrote: Investors... have to look at different things (than traders)... judge using different criteria... adopt different perspective on timing... and modify their own behavior to minimize risks and maximize potential... by recognizing how the market DOES work in fact, that isn't the same as investors are taught... by those seeking to line the sheep up to make sheering them for a living easy work. In the markets, if you aren't making money, and you aren't a cynic... that makes you one of the sheep".
That the investment industry insiders on Wall Street (et al, including bankers, brokers, stock promoters, public company management, etc.) all consider investors to be sheep, expect them to be sheep, plan and intend to make them into sheep, treat them as sheep, and discuss them in EXACTLY those terms as a matter of routine... is simply fact... and that fact applies to all of us, in their consideration:
DEFINITION OF 'SHEEP'

That I recognize that fact exists, and refer to it... does not make me a poor judge of character. Nor, for that matter, does your being considered a sheep (as all of us are) by investment industry insiders, reflect poorly on your character, rather than theirs...
It's not JUST that they think of investors in those terms in relation to any specific investment... but, think that way about us, generically... including that they think of voters in exactly the same way, and we are ALL made into sheep, and treated as sheep, by the banks... routinely... as here:
Are Investors Fleeced Like Sheep?

The guys who created that product... didn't, as the link suggests, invent the idea of using "some unflattering comparisons with sheep to make the point"... they're simply adopting it and exposing it ? |
