Fred (and Bonzaii),

I am here to inform you you are both wrong. I have been in communication with Ike on and off for over 4 years and have met Ike, his wife, and three sons Zain Zach and Rehan in Chicago for dinner at Reza's. I was thoroughly impressed with the boys conduct then, and today what they are achieving has been accomplished by no students in the world.

Ike was gracious and generous enough to pick up the tab that evening for not only me, but for at least 4 or 5 SI members who gathered to meet for a festive occasion- including family and relatives.

Ike takes a very optimistic approach to life and markets much the opposite as you may take expecting the market to capitulate to hades.

Your perceptions of Ike are wrong- he is very constructive and generous with his time sharing the what he knows of the markets. And I know of few people who have as much market savvy and analytic global economy acumen such as Ike does.

He has not defected or left Idea of the day thread, but only raised the bar moving to a new investment site until things settle down here on SI.

Best Regards, J.T.

FredE - I suspect that you are right as to the reason for Ike's absence.

It was probably what triggered his decision to move to the other site.

Look at his last post on this thread. It did not seem like someone about to depart from the thread and there was no new controversy to warrant his sudden departure.

I hope that he does come back with a genuine willingness to accommodate alternative view-points.

Good luck
