Your blanket references and comments on 'commodities' are truly comical << true to form vic. you have nothing worthwhile to offer so you resort to picking apart people's words and trying to pigeonhole them. of course you don't hold yourself to the same standard, because you make blanket statements about commodities yourself all the time. >> The universe of commodities never, ever, move in sync << oh really? thanks for your groundbreaking insight! i wasn't aware of that. i erroneously thought every single commodity known to man bottomed or topped on the same day! i also believed someone rang a little bell telling everyone it was safe to jump in! >> One would think that a commodities afficianado such as yourself would have learned this elementary concept a long, long time ago. << oh you're in fine form tonight. mischaracterizing people as usual. i never claimed to be a commodity "afficianado". i have always maintained that i had a lot to learn before diving in, and this year was a perfect time to do it, because it was a waste of time researching most stocks that were going nowhere. i guess that was a smart move, because while you're losing your ass bottom fishing stocks, i am preserving my capital and learning about new ways to make money. not only that i believe that my learning process with commodities is helping me gauge the stock market better. maybe you should read all the posts on my commodities thread to distract yourself so you won't get caught with your pants down holding loser stocks down 40% in 3 months.
