Huh.

I guess you've got me all figured out. The variety of themes in your tirade is almost overwhelming.

Since I do have a day job. Here's a nice, sterile, bulleted list of thoughts which sprang into my feeble mind as I read your tome.

o I'm neither enamored by rises, nor distressed by retreats. I want it to go down, I want it to go up. It will do both, so my feelings about either are irrelevant.

o All traders don't lose money, all investors don't gain money.

o I'm having trouble separating the explicit "you"'s from the collective "you"'s, or do you really mean all this about me?

o When did I say I was a trader?

o I'm just not smart enough to follow your causal relationships.

o You're smarter than Greenspan, who is smarter than me. Woe is me, I should buy baseball cards as I have no hopes of being successful in investing.

o You are very presumptuous, bordering on pompous. I haven't the audacity to ascertain one's state of mind from a few quickly pecked out words on a computer screen. Maybe it's your view from some higher plane which gives you the ability to make such far reaching conclusions about others with so little data.

o I agree the markets should not be manipulated. At least I thought I did, but you have now corrected me on what I thought. Thanks.

o Your grasp of the English language, prose, and form are exemplary, yet most of the wisdom in your message is squelched by the overabundance of vitriol.

o You favor the common fallacy that there is "one right way". I'm from the "there's more than one way to skin a cat" camp. Your strategy is for lower risk. I ain't afraid o' no witch, just a lighted match.

o Other's, but I'm feeling a bit vitriolic myself and don't want to end up being discourteous and regret it.

P.S.: I did learn something from this. SI doesn't support unnumbered lists. ;)

ahhaha, that was one of your better soliloques. I had to read it over three times before I found the pony in the pile of manure, but it was there!

It only took a two-day correction for your pearls of wisdom to sprout forth. Your command of the language is so polished, and your breadth of knowledge is so vast, that you really should be invested in energy or consumer cyclycals instead of techs. There, you could write a soliloque on a weekly basis!
