>>I don't insult people..<< You insulted me when I posted a technical assessment by reducing it to mere coincidence and comparing it to "an old woman wearing a sweater feeding the pigeons in the park on a rainy day"..... My assessment was correct at the time, but nobody's perfect so I let it go... but, now you say you don't insult people.. oh, please... modesty and intellectual honesty is a rare commodity these days, your reply to LG appears nothing but arrogant..... GZ

Joyous and happy holidays to Ike, Jerry, Lee and to all the others who have enlightened and entertained me this past year. I feel as though you are part of my family and with that thought I wish you all the best. Thank you again and God Bless. Pam Wooten

It is not about Ike insults those can be hurled without any problem I don't mind it. But it is about' bears failure' who got it all messed up and as COMP gets into 4000 instead of comparing what they write and what I write they make a moral issue of my defense. The attack starts from one thread and continued on for last few years (PM and open) and if I defend on mine it is wrong. They can hit me, they can injure my feeling, they have a carte blanche, nice blokes as Ike is arrogant but I am not arrogant I am defending my home you guys who got it all mixed up want to take me on like you brought fire to your own home, lost the title, lost the host and lost the direction. This is intelligence and wisdom of nice guys. They shunned TSO as it was to contentious than moved on to now MDA to MDD and when it all failed lets start picking people like IKe is the new game. As if ?thrash in the name of analysis? is now converted to attacks on other posters with change of name and no one stops it on the thread and looks the other way. If that is condoned and if this is justice and nicety I don't accept it, I will defend myself and will hold the thread which condones such actions as responsible. If you guys have made a new ?thrash? can to post thrash, someone will have to stop it and own it as it own. As one of the unique proponent of style and levels no one accepts the challenge to post daily posts for last four years for comparison or four weeks to hot handle and educate of our own follies. I wish I had not to go through all of it but this ugliness I picked form these thrash cans I hate myself for this but I need this for survival otherwise like Judy I will disappear. For my own sake I plan to stay and fight back. If my posts are useless than suggestions of making money any other way is nothing but losing in the markets... I as a bull will take this one.. and I don't need to pretend that 'nicety' will win me any friends, it is race for survival in these markets and I need to work the hardest to survive all by myself, in the process my thread because of its excellent track record attracts stones which are for me flowers, a tree which is not laden will not attract stones, I have learnt it hard way but I will not run a kitchen if I am afraid of fire I will rather make sure fire gets extinguish without censorship rather on merit of the posts. I welcome open attack on my posts style and hope that the spirit of my thread will come intact like it always have. This single issue has helped me develop a lot. Put your posts out like I do in a list in one page lets see in last six months who was writing what? That is something they will never do. Disagree with these hard cores and you get a collective punch, but I tell them you guys have made a lot of wrong calls now as COMP crosses 4000 and DOW creeps up, it is time to own your calls. I will be ready to discuss it thoroughly all the way for education and examination of facts. Thanks for letters like this which keeps me going... <<Hey IQBAL, I'm a daily lurker here. I've been on SI for almost 3 years now. Been through a lot of phases in my investment style in that time as I only started investing 4 years ago. I sheepishly admit to a 6 month "bearish" mindset, where I daily participated in the "Naked Truth, Big Kahuna a Myth" thread. Lost a lot of money in that phase (That was this spring, when the markets were roaring). For a while I read the MDA thread. I stopped reading it some time ago because they are so wrong that it just clouded my own judgement. (Let me note that overall I've made a lot of money in the markets, mostly by buying call options on MSFT, LU, DELL, CSCO, NOK, IBM, SUNW, PFE). What I really wanted to tell you is this. I've read SI a lot in the last 3 years. Now I really don't read it much at all, unless I want to say something. But I consider you to be the best Poster on Silicon Investor. In fact, your posts are the only ones on this board that I give any consideration to at all. This is because I've been reading your posts for 3 years now and know that they are correct on the general direction. Who cares about a couple of points difference on an Index call? It's the general direction that matters and you've been spot on. Thanks for sharing, and I sincerely hope you continue to do so. I wish you and yours a healthy, happy holiday.>>

IQBAL LATIF: You say you don't insult people and then you proceed to do just that. You are at the least delusional. You act like a demigod, but you're no god. I will not stoop to your level and hurl insults back. I did not run from the MDA thread but decided to leave it, based on the reasons given. I will not host another thread unless access is user moderated. And you can be rest assure you will not have access. Characters like you are what prompted me to stop. You are a waste of time as you color every post to suit your ego. I shall not respond to further insults by you as I am trying to reduce my posting. I am quite content with my efforts at Market Analysis and hosting the MDA Thread. Nothing is going to haunt me. Now, I shall leave you to your little world where you seem to think you are infallible...LOL! LG
