>> When you say that "Voltaire has made contributions to the wealth of many of us" you aren't including yourself are you?

Assuredly, but in a different way than you might assume since my Gorilla game orientation is ltb&h in nature. I've always been amazed that the so called "efficient market" could result in such inconsistent valuations from one day to another in the absence of any news. Voltaire's theories about the influence of the Houses has allowed me to rationalize short term movement and concentrate on long term fundamental issues. I've prospered in many other ways from my association with V as well.

>> What irritated me was V's quasi-mystical presentation and the encouragment of a cult like following of worshippers.

Voltaire explains the market in a manner consistent with his view of it, and it's up to the individual to interpret his message and accept or reject it. As far as the cult is concerned, I weary of their demands for minute to minute guidance as well.
