To: Jerry Olson who wrote (38010 ) 4/5/2001 9:34:32 AM From: IQBAL LATIF Respond to of 50167 OJ, I hope you appreciate that this thread is based on very solid traditions, traditions of proprietry, equity and justice, I hate charging money from people whom I came to learn from or I told them that I am amateur lets learn together. This thread has been wrong all along this 'bear trend' but no one calls the market inter day better than Idea thread adn the offers made to me are every day, dime a dozen from major brokerage houses to individuals who want me make money off people not from the markets. If your time is money my time is money too, you got too understand that, every money making vneture need 'new fodder cannon,' they get it from SI, I will not allow that to happen under this thread. I serve and I will like everyone else who post here to serve. I will love people who will join me here to serve and share, even insults are overlooked if the purpose is sincere, but to make this great thread after four years, a vehicle of 'self promotion and economic ventures' I will not let it happen. I am 'just saying that' you know it well what I am saying, you need to be real philanthropist share with us your reasons but not your expensive time, and for the room is big enough for you to spend a lot of time but don't use my thread to 'invite new cannon-fodder', you can do that if your room is free.. If I can make money from the market, my time is worth my while, if I am nobody than I take people to 'my thread' with money, this is my point and I am fair on this.. You are welcome to use my thread but not welcome to make it a publicity place for your room, I love you but I will sacrifice my friendships for priciples that is what I am... I will look forward for your posts without invitations to your room or make your room free, I will leave SI but never use this place where I came as a person to share, to sell myself, it is not honorable for me, it is cheap, it mixes things up..I will be rather be wrong but fair, that's what my parents told me, my word is my honor I will live with it and die with it..I don't sell my mind I share it to make things better, my time is for humankind and that is beyond markets..
