For what it's worth, what I really like about this forum in particular is that it is both informative and focused. Most of SI has withered away, and some forums are simply sales pitches for somebody's services complete with resident worshipers who sometimes exhibit an amazing degree of cognitive dissonance and/or selective memory. Or a bully pulpit for some steroid-inflated and very loud (and often dead wrong) ego(s).

This forum reminds me in a way of Mike Burke's forum from the late 90s and early 00s -- great place to stay grounded and come up with genuinely new ideas (or better timing of old ideas) to help get myself from now to five years from now as intact as possible.

To me, nothing beats the presentation of ideas with some limited context and one using that as a stepping stone into doing research into some new investments or to renew (or get rid of) an old investment. One has to do their own DD *and* work out their own ideas about investing risk versus reward, asset allocation, investments in tax free versus taxable accounts, and so on. I mostly fish around for information and let it simmer away into my long term expectations and go from there.

Anyway, I hope everybody decides to stay around and help keep this as one of the better places to visit on SI.
