twist... Why is it that there are people who want to "censor" others on an "open" forum such as this? I mean, isn't this a "two way" communication set up? I guess we can all insert posts that say "buy this stock...it's a "value"...without even explaining—other than that it's below book (whatever that is these days,) why it's a so called value. In fact, most of these so called "values" as one admonished participant who is so far resisting the veiled invitation to exit points out, are nothing of the sort. Can you imagine twist, still trying to look for net-nets in 1998-99 with the s&p selling at, what 5 or 6 times book? When Graham originated the idea, the s&p fluctuated between BELOW book and two times book. But I guess there STILL is a flat earth society meeting going on SOMEWHERE too. SI has this set up really nicely my man. Theres a next button. And if you don't like someone or you know you aren't even going to attempt to even "try" and understand what a guy is trying to say, then hit the next button. And you'll be free and clear from having to branch out and open your mind, one more time. Got that twister? Then you can get what YOU WANT, plus allow others to get the "opposite" of what you want, which is to EXPAND their minds and try and pound some NEW ideas into them. After all twist, the WORLD has changed and it doesn't make sense to rely ONLY on the CRUTCH of a dated investment philosophy. Granted, there's residual value in that dated philosophy, but the state of the art has progressed much further, if one can only open their eyes to it. Finally twist, I say if you want to have an "exclusionary" board, start a new one that says, "A thread for me.. and this guy and that guy and that's it." When posting HERE, you SHOULD ALWAYS tout a stock, but you MUST SAY it's a value. You should not, however, under any circumstances, PROVE that it is one.
