What he says or anyone says on Hot Copper should be irrelevant to what people do , how they view things , ...... and more importantly how they or you then respond.
You don't need to argue with anyone . Unless it's a personal attack , because that's different from actually disagreeing with someone else by way of sharing your opinion in contrast to theirs and doing it in a professional way instead of escalating the whole narrative.
At the end of the day , this business is about making money ....and that's all. Simple as that. Trust no one. That's my motto.
And again , the only reason I have been posting on other stocks at the present moment is to ' subtly ' demonstrate in kind to those who have taken the adverse approach to what I am saying with their personal attacks to demonstrate how it all works in this business and by showing them why they miss out all the time ......., and that it's actually NO FLUKE in getting your plays right and ' on the money ' . So I actually have enjoyed that bit of kicking some ' social media ' butts which has funnily enough actually been inspired by some of these ' opposite ' minded individuals.
So for me that's how I've chosen to hit back at the moment , with my ' purposeful ' in your face ' back at ya post to stimulate more of their jealousies - By effectively showing them that money is indeed being made every second of the day , everyday , every week , every month , every year despite what they choose to say on these forums.
So knowing all this , I too wonder sometimes why we just can't all ' Be Friends ' ...and at the same time how hard that could actually be in the practical sense of the meaning. Probably can....because we're ALL selfish and greed takes precedence more often than not . And this in turn makes people ANGRY and then respond by inflaming the conversations.
I mean people talk about manipulation this and that , but what about trying to convince people to BUY a stock even when its declining by obvious ' Pumping '. Doesn't that look a bit suss and isn't it in itself a form of de-facto attempted manipulation for one's own ' Hopeful ' gains. Instead of staying more conservative and perhaps accepting some of the negative in attempting to avert some of your own risk ...., or at least your tolerance and resilience to it.
Life is way way more important than all this back and forth bickering and ' I'm right and you're not ' mentality of Hot Copper.
Proof is ultimately in the pudding people. And ' Diversity ' of portfolio is always KING. Just like CASH via PROFITS is in this business.
And that is why I wouldn't support the same BOD on two separate companies. I would intentionally diversify away from that risk that that brings.
But , I still think we should all at least attempt to ' Be Friends '
Because again , life is so much more important.
I went to a person's 40th last night with my wife and it was great. But then look at poor lead singer from Smash Mouth , Steve Harwell who dies last week at age 56. And so much enjoyment he brought to my kids with his songs as they were growing up around the Shrek movies. So these are the things that matter. For me , I probably wouldn't have even batted an eye had it not been for them coming to me saying ' Hey Dad ' did you know the singer from Smash Mouth died ......its really sad they said . And so I had to stop myself and reflect with them .....because it meant something to them.
