"I don't claim to be a great expert at anything"

Your attitude on here sure seems to indicate the opposite, but then I forget that the truly arrogant-type can't see beyond their own B.S.

I don't deny that having an experienced investor share his or her insights on these threads is a good thing, as even I am guilty of the same and have been put down for it, but some level of diplomacy is called for if you expect to be taken seriously by some on here including myself. We are all aware of the risk this investment poses at this point in time and don't need someone who's been around the bend a few times to tell us what the future holds. The simple fact is you don't know anymore about the future than us, so stop trying to play the role of an "investment fortune-teller" as it makes you look stupider than I think you are.

I am just another investor with a little of gray hair who has seen a few market cycles.
Mr. Forthright,
So have I and I have come to the conclusion that that is the precise reason why so many of us sat or are still sitting on the sidelines while those without the burden of decades of investment experience have made themselves small(?) fortunes. I know I waited much too long.
Best
