My 10 minutes of glory on the NYRR Thread is well spent, then.
So i will continue with some further thoughts here, but no
intentions to go overboard like Meathead! -g-
...Yet for dreams, our future predictions and all...
Jack may not know where i came from. He never asked for me to be
around, and hardly knows me. I just happened to drift by what i
consider a very magnetic personality one day. Through reading
some of his posts and a bit of confusion i realized quite quickly,
here was a died in the wool investor with an unusual added twist.
The extra feature he offers to all is his compassion.
He knows the formula to expand peoples' horizons and the benefit
of them doing so.
In my opinion, the essence of Jack's style has great purpose,
and is appropriately ahead of it's time!
We seem to be satisfied "to assume present market conditions
will sustain us through the ever increasing toughness of the
developing world situation". Is this the truth? ..If not,
what type of statements from people will we most appreciate
in the future?
Imagine yourself, if you still have your money, wondering
where to place your bets "then". In some far away foreign securities?
-The presently ignored Alberta Stock Exchange?
Or Endless possibilities? ....Our situation does evolve!
Boy, could i use comments from a more tested individual such as him
(and coming from his unabashed "self"!) in the times of bear market
treachery that may soon be upon us. "Many here have seen only the
"warm fuzzy" market of the near past."
This is one person who demands of us "wake-up-calls! -On schedule"!
These are based on warm "and cold" facts, both of which good
investors should make an obligation to themselves to be aware of.
If jack remains unable to return, i must be satisfied to remember
him as one of the few people who have offered me a good manner of
personal substance. I can still use my memory of him to compare and
evaluate similar qualities other investors on SI may seem to
possess.
But jack's admittedly course words and simplified explanations provided
an unbeatable combination -for those who would listen- "to be more
comfortably able to beat a path towards the truth".
For his finer quality, he will always have my highest compliment.
And SI may not be quite as willing to give way to complaint,
should they allow themselves to be made aware of this quality
through our good Webmistress, Jill.
