I'm not the kind of person who butters people up. I'm more or less the opposite, and it's sometimes hard for me to remember that when I admire someone it might be a good idea to tell them. So I'm not exaggerating at all. It's impressive that you have such a keen grasp on segments of the economy and industry, that you have the vision to know what will be selling, and that you do considerable amount of due diligence.
We all know there's plenty that regular people can't find out. Who knew about Enron or any company that was cheating on their reports? No one knew. There are always things that come from left field, like the series of NENG disappointments. But you had the foresight to say in advance that the EMC deal was crucial to the company and that your recommendation was based on that continuing, and that was the first thing that crumbled a bit. You're a deep thinker about all of this and infinitely patient.
I know you're wrong sometimes and I'm not following all your recommendations: I'm just trying to make a statement about my observations in regard to your exceptional abilities.
BTW, everything, almost all the stocks I follow, was selling down in AH this evening. The earnings were good, but there was selling on the news. Dunno what that means for sure, but there could be some additional buying opps this week. Bummer, for me. I'd rather things went straight up. :)
