OK, OK, OK... I had a similar argument with Ed not too long ago. I think that you both are right, in your own respects. Depending on our individual perspectives, each person on this thread probably agrees with one of you more than the other. Performance is important to a "put up or shut up" argument, but this is an argument that will not be resolved. This is from personal experience. I know that you did not start this negative thread of discussion, but you can end it. The quality of your posting is what's most important to your credibility, and I enjoy reading your (and Ed's) posts regarding investment ideas and strategies. However, if this keeps going, it'll just get ugly. Been there, done that, and it's just not worth it. Thanks, and Best Regards, LoF

taxman...i'm not on this thread to compare penis length, or portfolio size....i'll leave that to the insecure psuedo macho guys like you...i prefer to keep mine in my pants....save it for special occasions.... you once again in your response of "not impressed", demonstrated your nearsightedness which manifests itself in a very foolish posture... let's try it again, read slowly, try to comprehend... an adept person with total knowledge of options, both buy and sell, with a much smaller portfolio then yours can conservatively generate an 8-10% return per month in "cash" using portfolio capacity...now using the "rule of seventy two" that gives a much better return then t-bills...this is on top of any appreciation in the long holdings of the portfolio... which word didn't you understand???
