Cheers mate, and yes I'm aware he has me on ignore. The response I posted was more for my own clarity than anything else. Over time, I've gained valuable insights from HC, particularly by challenging and being challenged on opinions. Whether he responds or not isn't my main focus; it's more about gauging reactions from others in the threads. As I'm sure you're aware, there are folks here who greatly enjoy poking holes in arguments, but among them are some pretty sharp individuals with differing perspectives to mine. The predictability of responses to my posts helps me assess the validity of my own analyses. If no one challenges me, it's a good sign my reasoning holds up. And if I'm off base, someone will gladly point it out, which is a learning opportunity, so that's good too.

For example, take the recent discussions regarding a potential capital raise; several of us have mentioned it without much pushback from knowledgeable sources (BTW, I don't consider @Rotane, @Morecash or @givemethecash to be in the "knowledgeable sources" camp). This reinforces the validity of the assumption. When dissenters (you-know-who) opt for dismissal ("so what") rather than debate, it usually signals you're onto something.

I honestly believe that only a fraction of the content on HC is truly beneficial. Likes and GA's don't carry much weight for me; a significant portion is influenced by confirmation and character biases, which often go hand in hand. IMO, you learn more from those who don't agree with you, than those who do.

In summary, not every post necessitates a response, and the ignore button serves little purpose. @asxDragonslayer can remain oblivious to any corrections, and I can use my posts to refine my own analyses. It's a win-win situation, sparing sensitive individuals the discomfort of opposing views.

P.S. - It's pretty amusing that @asxDragonslayer, who claims past experience as a fund manager, struggles with basic P/E calculations. I find it hard to believe that someone with that background wouldn't understand EBITDA, EPS, etc. It feels a bit like another Lambo story.....
