I agree in that no one is perfect including everyone on this board. I also do not mind people's opinions as long as they are not taking swipes at other threadsters and friends. Ironic? Maybe. Arrogant and rude? Perhaps. But the ultimate irony is that by you posting your "getting on jims case" indicator and dissing TA and "goldbugs" on this gold thread, you became the ultimate indicator. Perhaps your post was a self-loathing act? Then that would have been righteous, IMO. Many posters here I'm sure hold more than just gold stocks. Some even short it like me at times. In fact, I personally have been overweight energy in the last 3-4 weeks and at certain points owned almost no gold stocks at all. You say <"Gold bugs due have this tendency to think gold is predestined to soon rise to the moon. In fact they should really be called gold buffaloes because they love to just stampede in a herd off a cliff."> I do not know of any posters here that think that. Can you please come out and name them? Most here invest in gold stocks as protection and as speculation. In fact, for the majority of the time so called "goldbugs" live in gut wrenching fear that the gold bull might be over. You say <"Just admit when your wrong please and let the other guy talk."> No problem. It's just that some of us mistook your opinion (as someone pointed out) "a poke in the eye". I love Slider. I try to read all of his posts. In regards to a bottom, the day of your post was a short term one. Who knows if it will be tested again. Personally, I'm always hoping for the best but expect the worst.
