Gary, Two important points: 1. I am not the leader of this group. This group wouldn't follow anyone. Some agree with what I say about some issues and not about others, some agree with more, and some such as yourself agree with none. The folks who post here are an eclectic gfoup. BTW, please go to the top of the thread. I did not start this thread and was reluctant to have a thread similar to the one I had on Prodigy, as it is time consuming. But there was too much "stick to the topic" crap on SI to communicate different ideas any other way.
2. I have an agenda. To make money. To tell people about why I take a position after I take it. Then to analyze those positions as time permits when news comes in. I also like to get notes from folks such as yourself who disagree without name calling. In fact, that is the prime reason I post at all to threads. I am a contrarian and I need to hear what the herd is thinking and the kind of crap they are swallowing at any given time. Ego? I am an egoist from way back, but there is no way stroking from a thinly-populated web thread is going to equal the kudos I have received in the past from 450,000 shareholders and the national press. Believe me, Michael Jordan did not take up minor league baseball for the roar of the crowd. <G> I'm sure he liked the crowds, such as they were, but that could not have been his motivation. Nor is it mine.
Good Luck,
