Perhaps I struck a nerve. Sorry.

It's just difficult to have a good attitude when you subscribe to JD, and follow his recommendation meticulously for 2 years and end up losing 25% of your retirement savings.

CPPKY, LSI, SME, CSRE, SEW, GFASX, GFCHX, PDG, FFS

He is too slow to get out of a sinking company, and he probably has an investment horizon beyond what I like to think of. SEW, GFCHX, SME He got us out, but too late.

GFCHX is beginning to smell like CPPKY.

I cheer for those who picked his winners.

My China investment horizon is about 5 years. Maybe I need a short term advisor. Any suggestions?

As for your question, "how much vacation is too much.?" I think in the case of JD, he calls it work, but enjoys travel. So he is short on his home work.

I enjoy this site. You guys are great.

Fielding

Daniel,
I'm responding to you since I am not familiar with the others!!

Seems there is considerable confusion about what JohnD is doing.

No lecture but "we" have Big JohnD gains all during this Bull that are crazy. I'm not that smart so it must be JohnD.

What about a discussion as to the use of his selections.

Such as, what currently is interesting (i,e., SFA is looking better).

Just my opinion, naturally.
