To a certain extent arrogance comes with success.

I quite disagree, ahhaha. Arrogance is a sign of not being able to handle success, or fear
that one's personal growth is ending and someone might be catching up. The most
successful people I have known are also the most humble, for they have no need for
boisterous, ad-hominem attacks. I enjoy spirited debate with the best of them, but my
experience has been that engaging in personal attacks only lowers me to the level of the
other, and loses me money because I lose my focus from the investment challenge.


I just wanted to agree with you on this point strongly. One of the smartest and most succesful people I've ever met is Vinton Cerf, designer of the TCP/IP protocols and therefore one of the founders of the internet.

A more gentle, kind, well spoken indivdual you won't find. He listens to others, and offers suggestions in a gentle way. He doesn't need to push or convince you that he knows what he's talking about - his reputation stands for itself and his technical excellence oozes from every pore.

RocketMan et al: OFF TOPIC:

<<Now, here are some things for you to consider:

1. This is an investment board, not a seminar on communications.
2. This is an open board, not a moderated board.
3. You did not pay any more to be on this board than anyone else.

I could go on, but I really am getting distracted from my primary objective, which is smart investing.>>

You don't sound very humble but I do wish you "successful investing"!

I've been 'gambling' (?) in the market since 1955 and still learning; and, yes, from guys like ahhaha.....chill out and ENJOY the ride...the guy has been around a long time and has some pearls of wisdom to share!

Good luck "investing",
