"It was more of a joke then anything else.. I will admit that! I just think that your overally strong opinion gets on the nerve of some people, which then leads to critical and negative comments."
Well I'm sorry for having an "overly strong opinion". In fact would you care to point to just where my opinion is "overly strong".
"There have been some exception posts on this thread, suzuki1100 and Tony to name a few. These posts give real life examples and opinions which are unbiased yet explore both the upsides and downsides to the market."
Well I am sorry Kevi but if I see little up side I am not going to write it just to placate those who read this stuff. Why should I write something I don't believe? If you call having an opinion which is supported by all the facts and you choose to call that "biased" then well yes......I guess I am biased. I believe the market is nowhere near its bottom with a lot further to fall yet. If some unsuspecting "newbie" to Hot Copper stops and rethinks his/her investment decision as a result of what I have written, exercising caution in what is a continuing bear market, then I say good. Job well done. I have helped somebody from loosing their hard earned.
"As someone else posted, the world doesnt have to reset to get through this mess. You have the opinion in nearly all of your posts that its all over and there is no sign of a recovery for many years to come! WRONG!"
Your opinion and you are entitled to it. I do not call you all manner of things nasty or otherwise deride you {or link your name to someone you are not} for your opinion. That's the difference. I can live and respect others opinions without agreeing with them. I strongly suspect the reason why so many here can not accept my opinion is because of their holdings which are going south faster than a F18 and will not accept anything other than a post that is ramping up the market.
"Its times like this where the smart people capitalise on oportunities like this."
I read the same thing just before the market crashed in September 08.
"I myself am looking at small business' right now, and at the same time taking any short term trading opportunites as they arise!"
Good for you. If you are able to pick the UP days prior to it happening and then exit your position the day before the market tanks again....you are in front. Not easy though.
"I agree that we have tough times ahead, but Frankie the world aint ending like you have suggested."
Show me where I have said the "world is ending". The world is not ending and I have NEVER suggested it. The market simply has a lot further to fall before any UP side {sustained} imo.
"When confidence returns to the markets, wealth grows!"
.....and right now confidence is about as low as it gets......until the market drops further and confidence goes even futher down the gurgler. ______________________________________________________
