Message #80102 from Bob Johnson at Dec 20, 2001 ... my first post since October 18th. ... My gold prediction contest is... ####://pages.prodigy.net/########/predict.htm ... the 17 stocks I picked in December 2000 are up 43%, with 4 stocks (**, ***, **** and ***.**) more than double. Not too shabby... I'm surprised that the ascendent of o49r/gold_tutor's wrath has not come crashing down upon you for what you just did, mentioned above, and its not that you broke a posting rule set forth in this thread's mission, but that you have now joined with Russ, Claude and those others at the following Si thread New Thread: Precious and Base Metal InvestingSubject 51846 ... precious and base metal investing. ... emphasis to be on micro issues, with company analysis encouraged. ... thread had it's genesis at Gold and Silver Mining Stocks and engage in what o49r/gold_tutor has strongly suggested these these folks have done, being the Duck Test brings forth a look & smell of activity to pump & dump with un-caring towards all, especially new-bies who read these stock picks. Now i and most all except her Folly Followers don't give either a hill or valley of beans what she says, so i suggest you place your individual stocks picks onto the Russ Winter's thread of which has been obtaining more daily posts than here on GPM. Bob your posting and comments regarding the how and why you will and will not post here on Si reminds me of the following. A person buys a new car and picks dealer A over B because dealer A has attached to the sale an agreement that for as long as this person owns the car they will get their yearly state inspection for free. Find and nice, but 3 years later upon getting that inspection this original owner was noticed upon picking up the car that they had to pay for the inspection. This man spoke softly and told the clerk that its for free as long as he owns the car and even produced the plactic laminated "free" card he was given upon taling delivery of the new car. Yes the clerk said, but then ask the man to turn it over and read that very small text at the bottom which said "This offer can be voided by dealer." So Bob, might the "Free as long as you own the car." be more truthful if the following was "sold" instead? "Free as long as the dealer allows it." Seems the "... as long as you own the car." and the null & void clause just do not play together in a truthful way, its just someone not doing what they say they will. Like you stating that you will not post on SI because of such & such, but you return. Golly Bob, why deny yourself the feedom to do what you want to do. Just accept life in all its good bad and uglyness and adjust to it all and stop trying to "leave" as if you are then detached and live in another existance, but later return to a world unchanged with the almost guarantee that once again what you left will find you, but no, it was always here, you left and hid and returned into that which did not find you, but you dropped yourself into it, and for sure you will now say that i saw you and approached you as if you returned to a place after the time elaspe which changed to the state you only wish to exist in. Nope Bob, either accept this all here, including me, and move on live continue and stop your Cheese & Whinning and join Si with the Ignore DougAK feature set to eXtra On. or You state you will not join with the above new thread since it is a moderated one. Golly Bob you "moderate" yourself in not allowing yourself to join in what you then do onto yourself. Join Bob, and interact with your truth & justice onto that thread and let not other's views of right & wrong push you around. doug dougak
