"Again, your difficulty is that you apparently cannot imagine that anyone might have a different approach than your IMHO very narrow focus on one approach to the exclusion of all others, much less realize that many investors combine approaches"
again, i have no "problem" nor "difficulty"...your contention was that when the market takes a dump, kblb is where everyone will want to put their money..and im saying that is false..completely and utterly false...and i dont care what your investment philosophy or approach is...its just false period...
"Many investors have portfolios with mainly low risk "safe" stocks but put a small portion of their money in very carefully selected higher risk companies"
and many investors gamble their money in pink sheet penny stocks and use a lot if not most of their money..and you dont know who is who...
"If you cannot understand such things then you will never really comprehend what the market is thinking or doing, because the market is made up of a huge number of different people with different attitudes, opinions, risk tolerances etc"
yes there are many different people in the market and it doesnt matter what they think because they dont move the market..no one will ever "comprehend what the market is thinking or doing"...do you think you know what the market is thinking or doing right now??..
"And, frankly, many readers perceive your repeated insistence that "no one" does exactly what they are doing as more than a bit arrogant and close minded"
im not sure where you are getting this comment from or even what it means..unless instead of "does" you meant "knows"...and im not sure how you know what many readers are perceiving..did you take a poll?..
and you might want to take a closer look at that statement and do a little self examination because i believe the pot has just called the kettle black..lol
