IH Bob. You wrote. LOL I am to lazy for italics LOL.
1. Dismissing one side of the coin by never letting yourself see it (as many would do in a bull/bear segregation) is one of the most self-destructive things one can do. Agreed? (I agree with you 100%. The only thing I might add would be it is not a segregation but and alternative. Posts should continue to be mixed but have two threads. You would have no problem decerning who was a problem maker)
2. Postiing excessively positively or negatively in a venue where you know most of the readers aren't seeing "the other side" can be a pretty good way to make a lot of coin by not having your position directly challenged. Agreed? ( Agree again. Again I mentioned a day ago to limit spamming excessive posting. Something like 5 posts max in a hour. I do like this feature)
If so, do I force bulls and bears to co-mingle for each other's sake and for the sake of inexperienced investors or do I stand by and let people destroy themselves because it's their decision to do so and not my call.
It's not a rhetorical question. Protection and help of inexperienced investors is important to me but very arguably it's also none of my business since my job (for purposes of this discussion) is strictly administrative.
Bob, This is great that we can discuss what is good for the investor. I like IHUB and like Matt as a personal friend. I want to see this site succeed and will do my very best to help it along. You are a good addition and look forward to posting with you for many years to come.
I also care about the inexperienced investor. I was once an inexperienced investor and I learned for my mistakes. I think all inexperienced investors will have to learn from their own mistakes. All we can do id point out the pitfalls and pray they listen. I still like the Bull & Bear concept. I would like to see a way to make it work. I need to think on this for a few days. There has to be a way.
Thank you,
Willy
