Ole 49er, I am reprinting the post that you put up in www.lemetropolecafe.com to register my public disgust at your commentary. Personal attacks do not bother me, but when you call reasoned, fore thinking people "suckers" for trying to search out for quality information about markets, in this case, the precious metals markets, it makes me puke. Who do you think you are "Miss Know it All?" Should "would be" or present day gold and silver share investors search you out to try and determine what is what? The gold industry is going through a serious depression and is fighting for its survival. Many will not make it. Investors in the industry are having a tough time. We will have our day and the rewards will be well worth the present discouragement. In the mean time, someone has to articulate the gold and silver share case and build comfort levels for investors interested in this arena so that they can keep their pulse on what is going on and then can act, with conviction, when they feel the 19 year bear market is over. I could go on and on. That is not the point. You are the point. Snotty, disparaging remarks towards people looking to accumulate knowledge about a very depressed market and equity sector is silly. Those same "suckers' you allude to will make 3 to 4 times their money in this depressed equity sector while you are still yapping away.
Merry Christmas, Bill Murphy
Title HOW to tell when someone's early... UserID ole 49er Posted on 12/11/98 at 21:47:47 Posting When company arrives an hour before dinner time... one can always tell: the hostess is still in curlers!
My point: while being early is what you seem to need all most of us need is to keep our wits about it swim through the media "squid ink" (especially the White House's never ending supply) and pick our rav fav sector.
Bill Murphy is one of the poster boys for being early!
How do I know?
Well, let's start with the frusttration in his commentaries! One can see the "haircurlers" In his beard from across the cafe
Analysts who are too early become hoarse ... Bill's whinney is getting weaker by the post
Analysts who are too early have dents in their desktops! That's from pounding their tap-shoes too hard on the mahogany surface.
Those habitually too early also have bloodshot eyes... from interpreting Elliott Waves brain-waves tidal-waves (with apologies to Prechter) and end up parting of the ways with the bullish consensus daily report (last 29 and falling in gold...)
The trick, my young friend, Timothy is NOT to be early but to have some of that money still on hand that you've been spending on newsletters Forbes/BizWeek/Time/Individual Investor magazines, technical analysis software, and Visine eye drops. especially in this day and age of the internet.
Nope, I learned my lesson about being early, Tim! My mantra for the last several years is this: The pro's get the first move (up-bull/down-bear)! The awake and alert get the second move The public/suckers/newsletter readers get the shaft aka "third move."
