Oh lordy :-)

Thanks for the excellent (un-emotive) responses so far. I don't have time to respond to my own thread today but I have to laugh at all the theorising about my motivations.

Why does it have to be any more complicated than I explained in my first paragraph? Can't you relate to that? Haven't you ever been late to a SP rally and been in the difficult situation of deciding whether it's still a buy?

Those who paint me as just a trader haven't been paying attention either. In an early post to marben I mentioned that I've read many FA books (ie looking at my bookshelf: Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, Stocks for the Long Run, a couple of Buffet ones, etc) and I'm currently reading Hot Commodities by Jim Rogers.

You can thank (or curse) that last one for my interest in delving into the supply/demand situation for Uranium. Why did I put such effort into my post? Well, why read a book? Why study anything? To learn! To challenge myself!

I think Sun Tsu said something like: "Never ascribe to an opponent meaner motives than your own.". To me it means that most people are well intentioned and that it's almost always a mistake to assume their actions against your interests are motivated by malice.

Ok, that's all for now. Gotta get back to twisting my mustache and plotting world domination.
