I agree, we have a lot of dog catchers around on days like today. If they could be consistent, they might be believable. And especially, if they added content to the discussion. But, seems to me all they add is confusion. Everybody buys stocks at his/her own risk. The dog catchers seem to know the risks more than anybody else, yet they keep buying, so, in my opinion, they're not telling us the true state of their thinking. If they would, then maybe we could have a more productive debate going on. Occassionally, dog catchers do know something of value.... but it doesn't seem in their interest to tell anybody. For other dog catchers, they just want a place to whine and complain. I can understand the pain lots of people are going through, but over doing it doesn't help anybody except shorts I guess.
