(i've been in this thread since about 10 and i've read every one of all your posts). when i found my paper portfolio going up and my real dimethaid drop, i scared myself. i only pick on Wolf because he writes one third the thread and he's less than 1% of the population. when a man hangs his mouth (and thus his ass) out on a thread and dominates it as such, what does he expect ? basically Wolf is a long term investor who needs to reassure himself frequently that he has made the right decision. i understand that. i have nothing against him personally. i'm not sure if i insulted him. i hope not, that has bothered me. wolf said i was ill mannered ? maybe. i like to call a stick a stick and cut through the b.s. everyone of us grows closer to death day by day. inaccurate? where was i inaccurate? i pride myself on accuracy. i did that under the gun for my living for 13 years. well, i really don't care. i'm both glad and sad Wolf ignored me. i'm glad because frequently after i post it is WOLF that responds. he was starting to piss me off. for a combination of reasons. mostly because he was clogging the thread AND he wouldn't understand what i was saying, he wasn't trying to understand what i was trying to say, and usually trying to be sarcastic with his LOL meaning you didn't even know what the hell he was trying to say. i don't need that kind of "dizzy whip" when i'm trying to discuss the TREND AND TOP. see item g. well, my wife needs to use the computer now. gotta go. jeffS
