>>The only matter we disagree on, that you threatened to put BF in SI jail and worse for, is the direction of the market, with you having placed 100% bet on equity funds managed by the jungle animals you do not care for, and I following the rules of prudence and diversification. Am I right?<< Well, there are several questions in this paragraph which I would like to address. >>you threatened to put BF in SI jail<< If I did, I don't remember. In fact, I posted in favor of an unmoderated thread. >>you threatened to put BF in SI jail and worse for<< I did post that I had sent copies of his posts to the FBI. This was a joke, though overly heavy-handed, I'll admit. I posted that it was a joke within 24 hours of the original post. I did think that his post regarding the suitcase nuke in a small airplane destroying a US city was in bad taste. And describing the US as "cursed ground" certainly suggests that he is grinding a bigger ax than the run-of-the-mill SI pessimist. >>The only matter we disagree on, .........is the direction of the market, with you having placed 100% bet on equity funds<< You may see my 100% commitment to equities as a bet on the direction of the market. I don't. My POV is that the broad market is not necessarily following the indexes, which are made up of (relatively) small numbers of high-priced issues. I am not smart/diligent enough to be a good stockpicker/trader, but there are people who are: siliconinvestor.com >>equity funds managed by the jungle animals you do not care for<< I really don't know where this came from. I have never said anything like this. BF certainly has. >>I following the rules of prudence and diversification<< Well, each to his own. I see that the greater risk to my financial health right now is being out of US equities.
