* OT * All - Speaking of following the market, there's something I keep thinking about pointing out. I would prefer to bring this up myself rather than having the "Pigman" do it. I've been following ROBV. I hate to say it, but Mr. Smith did make the right call on that one. He was touting it at 4, about five months ago. It's now over 10. Of course, there's no way any sensible person would listen to his recommendations, because his communications style makes him look like a complete idiot. In fact, writing the way he does, he not only looks like an idiot, he's also offensive and obnoxious. So he was right about ROBV, although it did take longer to take off than he predicted it would. This goes to show you that being right isn't really always the most important thing, where credibility is concerned. If you want people to believe what you say, you have to appear to be a reasonable person, in addition to being right. When a person presents rational viewpoints in an irrational style, or in an offensive manner, the viewpoints are rejected along with the presenter. - Allen
