OT...OT...Well, Diamond H, I for one have made a lot of money, at least enough so that I don't have to work unless I want to. I didn't make this money because I am so smart but because I learned who to listen to. The few times I listened to the pros, I lost. When I began listening to people I personally found intriguing along the way, like George Gilder, Roger Perry and Mykl Parsons of the Rightline Report and...yes...Voltaire, I started making serious money. Gilder picks great stocks, Roger and Mykl keep me abreast of a lot of market detail and also pick great stocks (like calling q last Feb and March). Voltaire has helped me learn to read how the markets work. Did I listen to myself as well? You bet. When I first started investing I wanted to put my money in photonics. It took a while but now optics is one of the hottest sectors around and my intuition has paid off handsomely. Part of intuition is sensing who has something valuable to impart. I found Voltaire very intriguing from the beginning when he began posting on the dell thread. He had a different way of seeing things than the average poster and it was obvious that he thought for himself. It didn't matter whether I agreed or disagreed with what he said. I was just happy that he had something intelligent to say that I could chew on. I'm a long term investor and only look at day to day activity for fun. I wish people would leave Voltaire alone as the market is not nearly as much fun without him around. And there's a lot to be said for just being kind.
