Kaiser harmed Winspear by that, whacking it when it was most vulnerable there a couple of years ago, and likely contributed to deBeers' welfare in so doing ... yeah, for sure ... but that was just one of his calls, and i've never found the calls to be the main value - not with anybody's calls, we're all human beings and wrong quite often, NLWs can hardly be expected to be much different, the good ones will average out better than the rest, that's the best to hope for imho. What i like is his writing ... that whole stream of consciousness way he lays out the thinking behind the call, with all the embedded detail of the factors involved ... all his old issues i have here are dog-eared, i went back to them time and again, rooting out stuff ... which is useful, but the thinking is the most important imho, the relative weight he gives to some factors above others, stuff like that ... the whole thing for anybody who is going to survive as a speculator is not about getting picks fed to you, it is about learning to think for yourself, building up a thought structure into which you can plug the detail of other situations as they arise, imho ... and to me Kaiser was an aid in that ... i'll likely subscribe to him again before too long .... first Claude's ormetal.com though, never have yet in his case. This poster clipper - #reply-15820831 - he's a fine example of stockhouse imho ... first ran into him on the ite.to thread i think, followed his bio to other threads ... now there's a guy with a working thought structure, and straight plain talk to put it across
