...if he was a bit more diplomatic... Good point! It's only human nature to examine and evaluate very carefully the opinions of people we respect. When someone behaves in a manner which makes it virtually impossible to hold them in any regard as a person, it becomes a tremendous impediment to giving their ideas any serious consideration. This thread has been a forum for the serious discussion of CSCO by people who fall on both sides of the debate. I've learned from those who disagree with me. Investing is a challenge and the tools we all rely on are information and reason. I welcome diverse opinions. If it weren't for people seeing things differently, we'd have no counterparty to our trades. Cheers, PW.

The one thing we all have to remember is that we do have judgement. Some good and some bad. We throw things out to see how others respond and it helps each of us compile our thoughts to determine what we perceive to be our best course of action. However, there are no guarantees. If Bambs or anyone else was prescient enough he would be unbelievably rich. We all have opinions based on our knowledge, judgement and experience. We should all willingly share that. We should not attack the judgement of another. By attacking we may very well lose their input and it is possible they are the one who is right. Also, never, ever gloat when someone suffers a loss. Everyone show class.
