If you did the math right, you are saying you are up roughly 300% over seven years. This was accomplished by buying Yahoo and others at the IPO price. Yahoo is up about 600% alone which helps to offset some of the other dogpuke stocks you are holding. For those out there who were less fortunate in their timing and bought Yahoo more than a few months after the IPO, and then who bought into the dogpuke stocks you also touted, they are wondering who burned their dreams to the ground. They are wondering how they could have been so misled that they ended up with next to nothing after pouring their life savings into stocks that "smart guys" like you were so sure would go to the moon. You are going to outperform Warren Buffet? You think the stock market is ready to rally and vindicate your decision to invest only in a "portfolio of casino stocks". Good luck to you. But for the millions of people who lost their retirement funds by following your "logic", for them it is the trillions of dollars of their savings that were destroyed that will be the legacy of the mania that you are so proud of cheerleading.

william, please chill on the buffet stuff. if i hit a couple threes in a b-ball game, i'd be stupid to even mention outperforming michael jordan. stupid. once you turn your investments into $1 billon then you can mention warren buffet. oh, yeah, and get a sense of humor! ;-) oh, and starting with $2 billion doesn't count ;-) btw, 29% is pretty good. btw, what was your return at the peak? before this is over, you will be seeing red. guaranteed. your paradigm is broken and, over the long run, reality kicks the crap out of broken paradigms...
