Shane,
Right, with some exceptions I also try not to engage into the fights about concrete stocks. Most of the time I don't find myself "pound the table" superbullish about any stock. In the best case, I think "yeah, this might be cheap, but things may go badly in this way or other way, so maybe it's a buy, but maybe not". This usually paints me as a target for both bulls and bears, since most people treat ambiguous position as opposing to theirs.
Also, I take a lot of arguments emotionally and personally. That might explain the inverse-William Green result that I am not a great investor. ;)
I sometimes have strong opinions about why stock is not a buy, but I try to avoid talking about these too, since it doesn't help me - I won't buy or short that stock anyway; and it doesn't usually help the person who thinks the stock is a buy because they are sure they are right.
Anyway just some thoughts about this metatopic. ;)
My portfolio updates - and 2015 returns - will be posted in next couple of days. Nothing to see though. ;)
Happy New Year! |
