    Default What if the board went silent.....

    If the board went silent I would feel a loss......
    If the board went silent I would not have the valuable insight I get from everyone.....
    If the board went silent I would not feel as informed as I think I need to be...
    If the board went silent blah blah blah....the bottom line here is to say thanks to everyone (even you Birch) who contributes here with their opinions and transactions. I read it all. Both sides. This is being said in honor of Wheels but is directed to all here. If you all stopped posting your stuff it would be a great loss. I actually contribute nothing much here analytically because I use a market momentum strategy based on nothing in particular but momentum swings and gut instinct. I am influenced by everyone here and a few other things I read elsewhere but I make my own decisions and hold no one responsible but me. This is a great tool to have. And the people (if you are indeed real people) are even greater.

    And by the way if you ever want to take shots at me or bust my non-existent balls, feel free to do so. I don't take any of this personal.

    What's a matter S&S? Feel like you are not getting your fair share of being slapped around? There's a word for that I'm sure. Probably of minor consequence in your case....

    This seems like a suitably random thread, so I'll just post this here:

    I could very well be living in another state within the next six months (here come the jokes about state of insanity, dementia, etc. - oh wait, I already spend time in those two states...).

    Basically, I've grown tired of the climate where I work and need a change before it drags me down into a horrible pit of despair. Besides, there's a couple women that like me where I want to move, so why the heck would I stay here if offered a job there?

    Plus I could work normal hours (unlike here) and have a somewhat normal life (again, unlike here).

    Now returning you to your regularly-scheduled programming...

    S&S,

    You are both so sweet - and if I can't bust your non-existent balls could I possibly tickel your Elmo? Please? And besides, Wheels was a nice guy but really too much of a Johnny Dep.

    Well said sugar. I think I gain more than I contribute here. Now I must have missed it but, what happened with Wheels?

    Mailmanusa,

    Wheels became frustrated with my incessant leaning to the dark side of the C fund. He had historically been an ardent supporter of the S fund and when the S fund hit the proverbial wall he felt.....who cares what he felt. But don't worry he'll surface again because he is very helpful - just not pleased at times. That's what makes this country great.
