"Finally, Smart Value Investors who have employed Basic Math/Accounting/Economics/Probability/10-k reading ... have consistently beaten the market." You will probably find both Mel and I agreeing with you on this. We are both probably united in disliking the tone with which you tell us all this though. Your written style is - frankly - rude and very arrogant.
I don't propose to give stock picks. I never have and never will. I do my direct investment for me and that is it. So there is no track record of mine to monitor, praise or criticise. Bearing in mind that I am in this business, that is how it should be. Unless I run a fund, I should keep my picks to myself. If you want to hear them, you should pay for them.
However, you tell us all this with an attitude of "I know it all and I am the greatest". Maybe you are. We don't know each other. So perhaps. But probably, you are not, that is the statistical near certainty.
Therefore, may I respectfully ask that unless you plan to publish your own picks and results, you quit telling all the rest of us how crap we are when compared to your all seeing eye and all knowing mind.
I and probably most of the others that help in the DD come here, to help. Not to pick fights. I don't want to argue. The trouble is that unless someone sets you straight, some of the 'economic theory' you have been dispensing will be believed by the readers here who are new to the area.
I know that I always pick holes in your posts - well not always, but often - but I do this largely because you take the tone that whatever you type is the truth. In most areas of life, and certainly economics, a situation is never black or white. It is always a series of possibilities. You seem to discount any viewpoint other than your own as stupid / scum / shady etc.
That can't actually be your real opinion can it?
That the entire world is wrong. Except for xanfiles?
From here, I plan to bow out of this thread. It will probably be for the best...
