<< What you quted is from my profile. It is NOT an investment advice! >> Fair enough. My apologies. I guess it is YOUR style. Definitely not mine. << Having read your comments a bit more I see that you are a trader (and somewhat of a self claimed successful trader). >> Not all of my picks are trades. I have held some positions for months at a time. I prefer to do both. Hold some, trade some. << Anyway, because of the overly self confident exuberance, everyone starts to believe that they are the Peter Lynch, or John Templtons of the world. >> So are you implying that I am one of them (over exuberant)? Your being kind of vague. Come right out and say it. If you think I am over-confident just say so. << The attitude of move over, I am here to teach you how to invest becomes widely held by most newly comers to the investment world!!! >> I simply tell people what I think. Whether they feel they can learn something from me or not is up to them. << Anyway, I have no idea how exuberant you are with your wins, but from the sound of your comments you seem to be enjoying a strange exuberance and somewhat of a move over I am here syndrom! >> I am confident about my abilities. What is wrong with that? The problem arises when I tell people things they don't want to hear. Also, I play contrarian alot and contrarians are usually despised, therefore I make waves. << There is absolutely nothing worng with this and this is natural thanks to the beautiful bull market we have been experiencing over the past 5 years >> I don't see what a bull market has to do with anything. Plenty of people lose money in bull markets. I'm not always bullish on the market so I don't see how my success can entirely be based on a bull market. << Well, thanks, but as I said, I neither have the experience nor the self claimed investment skills that you or Jimmy Rodgers seem to have!!! >> I will have to agree with you there but if you knew how long I've been involved with the stock market compared to your 12 years you would laugh out loud.
