>>>The chief of his gains came from larger companies whose stocks had been beaten down. For example, this is from the 1998 annual report:...<<< There you go again Raymond: refuting through non-essentials. Your original point was that Buffett doesn't invest in companies like THQI. Regardless of the size of investments (he has to make big bets because of the size of Berkshire's assets), he does in fact buy companies very much like THQI, especially when they're beaten down. Of course, he made many more investments in smaller companies when he had less money that needed investing. Dempster Mill ring a bell? >>Invariably, when someone posts a non-bullish piece on any message board, (s)he is asking for attacks and hate mail (I've already received my share). I just happen to defend my position. No one has any right to degrade others.<< Actually, your tendency to parse everyone else's posts at great length is what sets you apart from the other non-bullish posters. You obviously are a seasoned, intelligent TA-er with a number of fans. It's the degrading of others that makes your intentions suspect. -OGM

<<< I have a lot of buddies on SI and MF that I've known for at least 3 years now. <<< Very very true and I feel very bad that you have been attacked. All ideas are subject to challenge which is a positive process (part of the scientific method), but to question your motives is out of line. BTW many people post on boards where they do not have a position but where they are thinking of going long or short or where they are simply intrigued. And I think Raymond, you indicated that you still have a portion of your long-term THQI position but I may not remember this correctly and it is not material at any rate. Very grueling day today taking my sweetie to another of the Aetna ordered so-called IME's where they attempt to show that her Chronic Fatigue Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS) is a psychological illness and hence subject to a two-year limitation on disability benefits. They will get away with this only over my dead body. If anyone knows of a reporter who might like to blow the lid off this scandal rampant in essentially the entire disability insurance and administration of employee disability benefits industry, please let me have the information. The pot is boiling on this (U.S. Congress) and there are likely to be many class action suits against these companies. Glad to see a piercing candlestick today (shooting star or whatever...hammer..)and hope to see a string of white bodies early next week. JAKKS reports on Tuesday and that will provide some visibility on the WWF situation. Sentiment can change quickly and what appears to be a sector under pressure can reasonably quickly become a sector in favor.
