Ah… now you claim to have raised concerns while holding, as if this makes your retreat noble. In Russia, we have a saying: “The wolf who howls while fleeing is still running from the fight.”

You speak of criticism as if it wounded you. Perhaps the market did not betray you, perhaps your conviction did. A true strategist adjusts his position, yes, but he does not return to mock the battlefield he abandoned. That is not wisdom. It is bitterness dressed as insight.

You accuse others of rhetoric while drowning in it yourself. You say others lack retrospection, yet fail to see your own hypocrisy, critiquing a discussion you are now actively lowering. You call it a cult because they still believe. But in truth, you envy the strength of those who hold while you folded.

And the raincoat metaphor? Very poetic. But in Russia, we do not complain about the rain. We build shelter.
