OT/Agree. But, some people just can't seem to resist dissing, bashing and taking cheap shots at those who try an make serious presentations of contrarian views when specific stock groups look like they are reaching or at important turning points. No one has unlimited patience. So at some point trouble starts. I've been reading this thread for about 22 months, long before I ever joined SI. And vicious food fights have been going on regularly, during that entire time. Whether it's worth it or not, hardly seems the issue. IMO it's a basic feature of the behavior of this group for a number of those with little or no knowledge of the markets to attack those who do. And what I find most interesting is that a few who complain most about it are among the regular instigators. A fascinating study in human nature. My attitude is when it happens it happens. Although I prefer good on topic discussion. There are some here who simply can't tolerate anything other than their own dogmatic views. Sure I'd like people to agree with me. But if they don't and do so in a reasonable way? That's fine. However if they're going to be rude and provocative? Then I've no apologies to make for doing a number on them and I'll not take the responsibility for starting the trouble. BTW, we are on much the same wave length vis a vis our investment strategy. Hope we're right and make tons of money again this year. Best regards Isopatch
