keith, Expect no flames here, and also no "I told you so's". I'm hoping that we've moved beyond the enemies thing here on this thread. While it's true that I'm personally holding a vigil here, as I know others are, there is no delight taken in others' misfortunes, only sadness that there was money lost and difficult lessons learned. We have now been told by you and Rob that neither of you are involved in the alleged lawsuit. I take you both at your words asnd ask that that all of us who post and lurk here keep our eyes focused on things that truly matter. You enjoy the rest of your weekend, Keith. I'll be doing my usual Sunday thread mining and perhaps we can persuade Allan, Chic, and others to contribute their thoughts on the technical state of the market and what to look for over the next couple of weeks.

I understand why folks are angry at Tom, but, as has been said many times, they have only themselves to blame. I am only talking about the aspect of the investment advice. I have no interest whatsoever in the other issues surrounding Tom and his friends. IMO, this is so simple that people can hardly see it. Tom just doesn't know what he's doing. That's all. They may as well try to sue that plant in Britain that they were using to make market calls. You'd think that after his first few bottom calls failed back in September or October, that people would just put two and two together and would see that something was not adding up properly. His stubbornness is a warning to everybody who would follow someone else's advice. Some analysts are worth studying and the best ones are flexible and readily admit and learn from their mistakes. All Tom does is tell people to buy the dip. If he were worthy of an ear, then he would have tried to learn something during this decline. People will forget him in due time. The sooner they do, the better off they will be. We have a generation of investors who have never seen a bear market. Buy the dip has always worked for them. The have little or now fear; no sense of the risk involved. I have no doubt whatsoever that the market will correct this aberration. The whole thing is a distraction. Let's leave it be and move on to what's more pressing and interesting.
