Glenn, Thank you for responding in a civil manner to my emotion-driven post. I hope you are aware that I was berating the ludicrous nature of Mr. Benjamin's methodology and not you for having posted it; it appears you understood my intentions. I am emotion-driven on this issue because when I first became involved in the market seven years ago, I was duped by my own confidence in the "professionals." I have since come to understand that they are often the last ones to know; not because they don't have the glaringly obvious information to make a rational decision, but because they are human and suffer from that peculiar human affliction called ego. Once a position is taken, it must be defended at all costs. It is a prerequisite in this American society of ours to never be wrong. That philosophy and way of approaching life is itself the greatest error one can make--MOOlegitimate companies. That's the great thing about being emotional: I am willing to make predictions publicly; I am willing to be wrong; I am willing to make mistakes and learn from them.
