But everyone is asking the wrong question. The real question is "why in the world do I care?" A good followup is "Why should I waste bandwidth and time posting about this?"

Ignore Justa if you don't like his stuff.

He has never, to my recollection, said to people "you simply have to listen to me or you are dooooooooomed." You don't need to follow him. You don't need to like him. It's the net!

He has a system that works for him, and doesn't work for others. So don't follow.

You can criticize all you like, but ask yourself to what end.

Having been a longtime denizen of the net and these boards, I can say with certainty that it's impossible to save others from following someone they dub a guru. Those who follow blindly will follow blindly regardless of how many warnings they get from us well meaning posters.

I'd also point out that wahz asked for this stuff to end on this board, and Justa at least tried to do just that -- but no one is letting him. Why not start a new board (Justa Conversation, perhaps) and respect wahz's desires?

MJK -- this wasn't just addressed to you, obviously! You're just the most recent <g>

Come on man! I'm trying to watch football. Cut down on the words:) Just kidding. Maybe it would help if folks that forecast gave a line in the sand that would change their view or a couple of things(if they were to occur) that would be warning signs that their analysis might not pan out.

MJK: Whaz, who moderates this thread, has made it clear he does not want personal stuff here. And yet some of you continue to disregard his wishes.

Some of what you say is true, some of what you say is false, some of which you say is taken out of context, some of what you say is due to misunderstanding and you basically take my attitude too seriously. If the market changes, I try and change with the market and that accounts for some issues when looking backwards.

You might have enough free time to do all the work you did in going back to the past. It is your life. Live it as you will.
But I don't have time to go back and expalin everything and why should I? Am I on trial? Can I do the same to you?

Maybe you are sincere. But it is a common game on the internet boards to do this to try to put someone on the defensive. I have been posting long enough to know every game in the book backwards and fowards up and down and all around town.

If you are sincere, try addressing these concerns in real time if you have a problem and on an appropriate thread and in a civil fashion and I will respond as I do to most posts.

Good luck.
