Re: Birchtree's account talk
There are no other buy and holders.....
Actually, there are hundreds of thousands of them.....but they don't spend hours everyday trying to convince people to do nothing with their money..you do stand alone in that regard.
I'm concerned about the inexperienced lurkers that are getting the wrong impression from our moderators. They need to be aware of the necessity to learn before they attempt to churn. You and I disagree on vision.
But that is not what makes you unique to this board. What makes you unique is that you post information, but you don't care if it is appropriate, relevant or meaningful. Every other person on this board, is trying to give an honest unbiased opinion and/or analysis of what they are seeing.
You have proven that you are not interested in analysis, because you only ever present one side and willingly admit that when the market is proving you wrong you simply shift your topic of conversation to DCA.
What you provide is propaganda. Any person on this board can click on the "Member's List" click on "Posts" and sort the members by the number of times they have posted. Subsequently, they can look at all the people that post the most and see how often they post per day. Only Tom, posts more then you, but it is his site - very understandable. This has nothing to do with your strategy other then by voicing the Buy and Hold strategy you stand out....and standing out is what this is all about for you.
You are saturating the board with propaganda. Are you really trying to help? Is anybody asking you for advice on the best buy and hold strategy? Or are you simply in this because you are either lonely and/or bored (sad and pathetic)?
I don't think that is the case either. Someone who fit that description would not go around trying to foster an image of superiority and telling folks that no one should question them because they are a Vietnam Vet.
There is something else at work in your head and it is apparant on many different levels.
