K'shyster... On a serious note: This is, was and will all ways be about - the inability for the Bulls who are allways the vast majority who inhabit these iNet message boards; to accept contrary opinion and thought. In all honesty; the Yahoo RIG thread from this June to the present; should be a Doctoral Thesis on investor sentiment and the study of crowd mentality...it was truly a classic. The peaks in "attacks" and spin-doctoring on these threads allways occur at major tops & bottoms, or on WHIPSAW's like you "late to the TURN-party" traders just experienced who missed the DCB trade off OSX 58 and piled on the "react to" OSX rally of late (keyword there being - late) & got caught in a 10% down-day OSX buzz-saw. We have continually joked about these threads and their peaks of either bearish, or bullish thread sentiment being near perfect barometers of market, or sector tops & bottoms... but, the joke is that it isn't a joke... that the best threads are literally among the best indicators in market timing, or calling tops & bottoms on a contrary sentiment basis. The bulls are allways most bullish at the exact tops and stay that way too long because they never anticipate what the market, or traders will do... allways eventually "reacting to" the reality of the market... and then usually getting most bearish right at the bottom and also staying that way too long as well; usually missing the "TURNS" (vbg). I've never claimed a perfect record... but I am very proud of the information I've contributed here & elsewhere and the "Macro" calls I've made. So few; so very few here... spoke about the irrationality of the Nat Gas mania we had last year, or about the over-reaction to the multi-year up cycle / New Paradigm mindset that some on Wall Street spewed and many here bought into. Yes; many others did turn negative and ultimately took profits on the Nat Gas "too perfect storm" and finally went short...but, no where near the top fwiw (vbg). Many took profits atop the now near seasonal "March to May" OSX run...but; they didn't make those original calls, or point to those indicators when "some of us" did... in fact; quite the opposite... they poo-poo'd those calls & moves; just like you Kodiakbull & nearly everyone here did on Gold. Please with a straight face; tell us once again how that sector rotation call of jumping from "Black Golds top to Yellow Golds's bottom" wasn't a lead, not follow & anticipate - don't react - sector rotation call that paid off with BIG $$$$ PROFITS ? The HUI index literally DOUBLED from the time "some of us" made that portfolio weighted sector rotation call - into the Oilpatch, Tech/Nasdq's 40%+ collapse and into a 20%ish broad market correction in the blue chips. ... so your petty jealous little digs do nothing other than paint you as what you are... just another after the fact sideline commentator who has never led with an original thought, or market take; let alone EVER contributed a worthwhile original thought to these threads. Jim P ? yes....lots of specific company calls, inside the beltway type of commentary etc. Even dabum with his (less than specific/fence straddling at times) TA commentary at least has proffered up an attempt to help others... But, YOU Kodiak... YOU are a hanger-on, a coat-tail rider... a mere wannabe who never was...just another mouth in the cheap seats of life... nothing but a pompous old windbag, a 3rd rate shylock-hack personal injury parasite lawyer with too damn much time on his hands between $300 flat rate divorce cases & his next slip & fall payday...nothing more, nothing less... a hack. ciao~
