Actually it would be impossible for you to offend me. The honest pursuit of knowledge should always be encouraged. But the constant spewing of BS should also be challenged.

Its important that a dose of reality also be injected into life from time to time, and its Nicky innoculation time...

Thanks to the magic of technology, folks can go back and check out your record. Hey, your stock picks from earlier this year are conspicuously absent from your web site. I wonder why? ;-)

No matter, I took pictures in the spring ;-)

If one went back in time to look at some of your picks, one has to wonder why you didn't a) take profits on the few you were able to and b) didn't cut losses.

Its easy to understand why -- your myopia was quite clear. You held - through embarrassment or baseless conviction - since through all that long decline you were calling for the market to go UP, when in fact it was trending down for that period.

Reviewing the list - SNDK, NVLS, BLDP, GTW, BRCD, AMCC, TLAB, CHKP, NPCT (YUK!), BCE:C -- most of them are STILL trading below your "entry" price earlier this year. No wonder you have eliminated your special stock lists.
