Dipy: I was about to agree with your point when I noticed that you used the "SCHM word" twice in your post. If you know what it means, you know it's inappropriate language. If you don't know what it means, perhaps you should go to the library and look it up. Too bad - your return here had being going surprising well.

Re: "You said it right. Until now, it has been buy-on-the-dips, something that even schmucks in high school investment clubs and grandmothers' knitting circles and the talking heads on CNBC have been advocating." Yes, but he has called those dips in advance. Also, he's been able to tell the difference between a gift horse buying opportunity and a bear market, while others (e.g. Ralph and Elaine) have made the wrong call at the bottom of the correction. To compare Bob's past calls to the abilities of "schmucks in high school investment clubs and grandmothers' knitting circles ..." may simply be a reflection of your lack of understanding. More likely, however, it is probably just another example of your dislike of Bob getting in the way of rational thinking. FWIW, I think I'll finally try the ignore button. Please respond to this message. I'd like to see how the SI ignore feature works.
