The one thing that stands out above anything else
is how unwilling the pro-IDWD crowd is to debate
here as a group.
Her's my take:
On HSM, it's a pro-IDWD environment and holds little value.
ON RB, there's equal footing with few protections and
the debate runs about even.
On IHUB, the anti-IDWD crowd has nested, but when the
dialogue directly addresses current issues, it has value.
The rehashing here of old stuff and posts from other forums
ends up being catagorized as anti-IDWD fluff and bashing.
IMO, sticking with straight forward debate on current
company issues (which are few right now) in a courteous
fashion, accomplishes the most when done well.
If a newbie comes here and reads, looking for a balanced
sensible frank discussion, I don't think they find it
right now overall.
IMO, that's what I'd like them to see.
If the anti-IDWD crowd took a better approach,
I think newbies would stop and learn about IDWD.
I certainly can't recommend IDWD as a new investment and don't.
This fact gets drowned out by some.
There's also a passionate drive to convince longs to sell.
That isn't working either due to the methodology, imo.
The current rebound also proves that shares are still
being picked up.
IMO, the good arguments made to avoid IDWD are being disregarded.
Imo, this is a waste. It's a shame.
I lay part of the responsibility for this at the feet of those
who have discarded courtesy and diplomacy and cold hard logic
and information when combining these elements is most desired
and necessary.
The pro-IDWD crowd doesn't make this same mistake too much
in this forum. In fact they accomplish more by avoiding
this forum. They don't avoid RB. When some have come here
and been jumped all over when they are courteous (not all were)
the result is they become martyred and they win.
The newbies go where it feels good.
These are facts. I've observed it happening.
IMO, IHUB provides the tools and environment to prevail
in a discussion, but winning the debate is still dependent
on more than just facts or which side has more representatives.
A winning strategy is also necessary.
IMO, the anti-IDWD faction should be winning here hands down,
but has failed due to methodology. This in a shame, IMO.
In plain english, this says I'm not taking a side.
My observations, assessment and conclusion is merely
who's winning the debate here and doing it with little effort.
My opinion is just that, my opinion.
So make no investment decisions based on my opinion.
