Hi Willy. My thin is plenty thick! Not my head, though, which is why I challege one particular poster the way I do.

Gauging by the recommendations and the PMs I receive, people here generally seem to feel I'm not out of line.

Again, I appreciate the individual's depth of knowledge. Some of the most informative posts on this site have emanated from his keyboard.

As well, I hold nothing against traders. Orcinus today acknowedges that he holds a portion of CUU for trading and a core position as well. He has stated that in the past, as have a few others. I have never "attacked" any of them.

However, when one changes his tune as quickly as the person in question, you really have to wonder what ulterior motives are at work.

You may notice that he miraculously dodges downturns in stocks. He claims to have sold just in the nick of time, everytime. Somehow avoids the plunges; immune to the vagaries of the market that the rest of us wrestle with. He's the Indiana Jones of trading!

Funny, I don't see the links to the messages where he warns others to do the same. Just the claims.

Some accountability and some honesty is really all I'm asking for.
