"I think you broke your own rule. About posting about posts, and not the stock, I mean."

First of all, "I" don't have rules, "IHUB" does.

Secondly, there is no rule against posting about another post. Probably at least 80% of all posts refer to other posts in one way or the other - including Strongus' post just before this.

Thirdly, not every post has to refer to the stock in question if the discussion is applicable. If you think a post should not be made that does not refer specifically to GFCI, then why did you make your Mauldin post that I referred to in the first place????

Anyway, the ONLY reason I made the post was not because you averaged down AND it was not because of Mauldin's #1 rule. It was because in between those two things, you had made this comment:

"Just in case some of you are wondering what you did wrong and why your inheritance, kids college fund, or retirement savings are now in jeaopardy....."

The POINT IS that you are saying others were essentially idiots for averaging down to the point of losing their inheritance or retirement or kid's college fund - none of which you know to be true, but in all cases is very condescending if not rubbing salt into wounds.

That alone is bad enough, but the JUSTIFICATION you used for it was because they broke a rule ----- the same rule YOU broke. Therefore, if you did NOT lose your inheritance and they DID, one can only conclude that it was pure luck.

And, THAT'S whats wrong with it.
