You have "issues with Sliders presentation". LOL. Focus on information, counter points of view, anything that will keep you light on your feet and questioning received wisdom. The object here is to make money, not to get a backrub. I'm saying this as a friend, you know. These are soft presentations compared with days of yore. Also, here's a tip not only for the internet, threads, etc., but for LIFE in capital letters. Formula for happiness: Make as few rules for others as possible. Zero is best. Other folks either won't know about them, or they might vaguely remember and then forget, or they might not care from the get-go. Then where are you? Unhappy that they broke "your rules", "disrespected" you. Fugettaboutit. Your happiness will increase, everywhere, as your rules for others decreases. I always take what I need from all postings, that and no more. Kb

The problem I have with the message from Jim and Slider is that they claim to so clearly see the downside of the energy run but can never acknowledge that they totally missed the upside of a terrific run in these stocks. The whole energy sector is way over-extended and due for a stiff correction. That is obvious to a lot of people here and the shoulder season is the obvious time for it. People might be more receptive to that message if it wasn't accompanied by an air of omnipotence but I guess some people are NEVER wrong.
