Justa, You seem to be in the minority re: your defensive protection of your thread. I will stay here as long as I please and have received a number of PMs from regular posters who agree that your intolerance of opposing opinions and perspectives is way out of line. If you were so sure of your opinions, you would not feel so threatened by mine. The more you attack those who hold views different from your own, the more apparent is the fragile nature of your beliefs. I certainly don't feel threatened by your views. In none of my posts do I attack any person, use vulgar language, tell people where they should go, or accuse posters of malfeasance. Yet I am subject to all of these only because I offer an opposing view. As I mentioned in a PM to another poster, most of those who so adamantly disagree with me know (but don't accept) the truth they are fighting against (e.g., that we all are responsible for our own investment decisions). It's a matter of security. Having a market guru to guide your investment decisions is like having a teddy-bear. Both help you sleep at night and for the same reasons (i.e., they provide a false sense of security). Eventually, and hopefully, we grow out of the need for either. I have nothing against anyone on this thread. In fact I've bookmarked and follow several people who regularly post here. I am entitled to my views as you are to yours. Have a great week. Cheers... LIG
