I know I've been gone a while and perhaps this is more indicative of my level of interest rather than an observation, but....has the traffic slowed down here? There doesn't seem to be as many new posts as I remember...?

When the market goes bad or is in a state of uncertainty, most stop posting. Also its the weekend. It’s usually quiet on the weekend. The night before the market opens the chatter starts.

I hope you're right...'cos there seemed to be a lot of hostility at some point, too. Perhaps everybody losing money makes for a grumpy crowd...hehehehe. :s

I'm just all excited about getting back into my portfolio and the anticipation of capitalising on what's next...and....not too many around with whom to share my enthusiasm and exchange information. :(



:D Hellooo...lo...lo...

Echo...cho....cho....

Rolo,

Caught your radar beacon today - sorry I didn't offer a hug - but we have not been introduced. I do know that you are a Senior Member at $65.55 from another place in cyber space. That's cool - and you seem to be very busy doing what you do. You should have ample opportunity to share your enthusiasm and exchange information as previous - why change locations now? How do you find the time? Are you one of these guys who has limited.....Met DMA who was on 10 different boards and what a peter head he turned out to be. Are you perhaps looking for a golden praise party - because there is more than enough golden praise around here to be offered. If I sound grumpy it's because I am grumpy.

ermmmmkay....

(dahell?)

Lets see.

1. I do not want a hug because, looking at your avatar, you are a tree (or one may say 'almost a stump') and I am definitely NOT a tree-hugger. I am one of those greedy, heartless, rich Republican bastards. So tree-hugging is definitey out. Also, I have personal space issues.

2.Yes, I am on other boards. I also drink diet Pepsi AND diet Coke. What of it?

3. Change locations? That is because I, um, MOVED. I have two addresses and currently I am at this one. What of it?

4. "seem to be busy". Sure. I just hope I can keep the same facade with my bosses.

5. "How do you find the time?" I have no life. What of it?

6. "Are you one of these guys who has limited...." Limited what? Out with it. I guarantee that I have less tact than you do, so speak up.

7. "Met DMA who was on 10 different boards and what a peter head he turned out to be." eeheheheheyeah. Gotta admire the guy's persistence...I mean...he NEVER stopped. I expect he'll be like a comet. Are you thinking that I am he? Sorry...I've been here long enough and have spoken with far too many people here to be confused with anyone else.

8. "Are you perhaps looking for a golden praise party" Well, it would be better than a golden shower! Anyway, what did I do to deserve that? The answer would be no....my self-loathing cannot be cured externally; it has to come from within. Money is a pretty good distraction from it, though, and hence my being here...to learn to earn more money. Praise is irrelevant.

9. "If I sound grumpy it's because I am grumpy." Why is that?I opened my Johari's Window, now it's your turn.

10. "Chow" Mostly here 'cos I needed an even 10, but it is spelled "Ciao"...unless you were calling me for dinner and a hug... :shock:

This is entertaining! Hi Rolo. Hi Birchtree. Rolo this is Birchtree. Birchtree this is Rolo. Consider yourselves introduced. In the event of a knock out please go to neutral corners. (ding, ding)

Show-me,

Thank you for introducing me to Rolo - just figured it would be worth a feel good experience. Sorry Rolo. I apologize for being suspicious and unsavory. You have done nothing wrong and didn't deserve the confrontation. Hope I'll get another chance to do better. I anticipate the opportunity to converse with you and also learn from your investment acumen. Pleased to see you have personality and handled the situation with finesse. I'm going to go hug my tree now. Take care

Dennis

Yes. Odie does not quite convey the 'big' part of 'bigdog'. Here's 'Big Dog' from a cartoon I like:

Every new person is MT until proven otherwise. :D

He sure took a lot of crap for a while but I think we cleared The Tech.
Not that I had a big problem with MT/DMA/Dr Dub, but he sure got on other members'nerves. I have to think of the masses.

Yeah, but you can't complain about a guy and yet keep talking to him.

"I don't like his responses"

"Well, QUIT RESPONDING TO HIM!"

Personally, I thought he was a friggin' riot and did have value as an analyst (I just think he was wrong most of the time). I wish he were here so he could explain to me why I made 40% over the past year when he said I would lose my shirt....guess I'll never know...
