Maybe Yogi's wrong, but if you want to counter, there are other ways. I'm not taking any moral high ground here - if I think someone is an @#$#$%^, then they're sure to hear it from me. But I would be expressing a personal opinion. When a company image is involved, it's better to take "the high ground".
As for "making anyone money", nobody can fool anyone here that they or others don't have a vested interest in seeing the stock go up/down. Everyone here is either long, short, or thinking about getting long or short. By posting your belief that YF should go higher, you are acting in your own interest. The info you've posted may also encourage some to buy the stock. I'm sure your posts have convinced a few people. But so far, long YF just isn't working. Maybe it will, but there is no reason other than valuation to buy right now. And for a long while the market has been far more about growth stocks than value. Guess I should have said, "anyone who's bought the long argument from you or all the other longs hasn't made any money". That's a fact.
There's nothing wrong with taking a stand one way or another, but you've got to be able to admit when you're wrong too. It's failure to see when you've made a mistake that will cost you even more in the market. In the business you're in, when you make mistakes, people WILL point them out to you. |
