jtech, I was wondering how long you have been investing in stock market. I sure welcome anyone to point out mistakes from whoever the guru, but extending that to the entire performance of those involved is another matter. The judgement should not be based on one or two predictions but on the total performance, the ratio that correct vs wrong. Even a person has a 95% right ratio, anyone can still pick up his one or two mistakes, and to extend to his entire performance, just like what you did. This is unfair. I am not saying Iqbal has been correct 95% times but I can assure it has been far above 50%. Yes, you are right this time but to show you are better than others that you blame, you need to show you have been correct 800 times out of 1000, not 8 out of 10 or even 80 out of 100. I see this point has been well understood by most who posted in this thread, but not by you.
