nuthin' OT about it Paul. U should know better. ISO has attacked me for weeks upon weeks on end & I have not been able to post a defense. But, I guess it is okay for the former Wall street borker to say whatever he has to say... I can't help but notice that few people spoke up (notable is Brooklise who is attacked every time she posts, yet, her attackers do not not get a warning or receive a post like the one I'm responding too). If u & Chris want to ban me. Go ahead. Make my day <ggg> I'm just tellin' the truth & u know it. Isopatch should go stroke his ego somewhere else. And I am disappointed in you defending him. I thought you were a friend. I guess money does talk & corrupt after all. Naively yours, Peter

Perhaps someone needs to give an online net etiquette class, specifically on the use of tact. Want to say: "Hey you idiot! Can't you read? Your mama never taught you to read?" Actually say: "I disagree with your assessment, and here are my reasons..... What do you think?" or, "Perhaps a look at what I think is the ultimate word on this topic, Holiday Joe's Technical Analysis Bible, will provide us with a different picture?" Bob Graham PS: No negative intentions to either party. I am using this post to sum up my thoughts on a solution to the flaming that I find on threads.

Paul. Here's an interesting article on gold sentiment from CBS Market watch that I would not have noticed were it not for my friend valuetrader posting it over on SD II. <Gold newsletters jump off bandwagon By Mark Hulbert, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:20 AM ET May 3, 2002 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The gold timing newsletters tracked by the Hulbert Financial Digest are not all that excited about gold right now. Their average exposure to the gold market is just 37.5 percent, with the remaining 62.5 percent allocated to cash. If you're a contrarian, their tepid feelings about bullion are good news, both for gold itself and the shares of gold mining companies. See Thom Calandra's StockWatch. I frankly am surprised that today's gold timers are not more enthusiastic. With the yellow metal exhibiting more signs of life than it has in years, I would have expected nearly ubiquitous exuberance among the gold-timing newsletters. After all, that is exactly how they reacted every other time in recent years in which bullion rallied to the $300 per ounce level. But not this time. After briefly jumping to 90 percent in early February when bullion rose to the $300 level, the HFD's gold sentiment index has steadily declined to less than half that level today. Yet bullion actually is higher today than it was three months ago. This is a textbook case of what is often seen at the beginning of sustainable rallies. As contrarians constantly remind us, bull markets don't like company; they thrive when relatively few advisers and investors have jumped on their bandwagon. This is why contrarians were not particularly surprised that gold's rally stalled in mid-February, the point at which virtually all the timers followed by the HFD had become bullish. Today, in contrast, gold at $310 per ounce has fewer cheerleaders than it did three months ago when gold was trading at a lower price. Incidentally, this sentiment picture for gold is just the opposite of what prevails for equities. In that arena the average adviser has been stubbornly optimistic in the face of a significant decline, which is why I grade sentiment among stock timing newsletters as bearish. Mark Hulbert is the founder of Hulbert Financial Digest. He has been tracking the advice of more than 160 financial newsletters since 1982.> cbs.marketwatch.com
