Monk and the 'Say/Do' ratio:
Without being fawning or sycophantic, I'd like to say that of the many people I've met in my couple years of independent investing, Monk is the first person with a ratio between what is said and what is DONE high enough to warrant my genuine respect.
Some folks are good at direction, timing, technicals, or fundamental analysis. Monk, in his conservative, deliberate way, has such a high say/do ratio with me at this point that I have to confess a little bit of old fashioned gratitude is in order here.
We will have cyclical down days too folks, but what a team. I remain impressed with what we've accomplished together, but enormously so for the guy who brought us together and makes our plays work.
Monk, a toast to you sir. My sincere thanks.
