Yogi & Thread. Yes, recall your posts. You ARE one of the VERY few of us who got out at the recent significant top in the PM stocks. Welcome to a very small and select group. By contrast, the clueless herd that invades SD II for about a month around important tops are legion, as is the verbiage they spew. They are wonderful contrary indicators. But these clowns can get a tad testy and vindictive when we have the temerity to remind them they've been left holding the bag vs the few of us who sold into yet another significant top. Markets are NOT democratic. Only a small %age of players make most of the money MOST of the time. They are those who continue to learn and improve they're skills. Meanwhile, the vast majority of investors/traders make little progress. They give back most, sometimes all, of the profits they've crowed about near the top of every major sector bull run. They DON'T learn from their mistakes and improve. A major reason is their egos are too insecure to ADMIT their mistakes in the first place!! Instead they live in denial, making lame excuses for their under performance. OR, they try to escape their failures by bitching and taking cheap shots at the few who consistently win in this biz. Well, going to be very busy the next few days. So logging off now. See ya'll when there's some extra time. Cheers, Isopatch
