SOCCY..........
A happy ending.
But in all seriousness, the negativity needs to stop. I will cease and desist with the negativity on my side as of now.
If you do not like or agree with what I post, that is fine, feel free to criticise, however, just have a point to make.............just posting rubbish does not advance the discussion in any shape or form.
Its rubbish because..................XYZ.
And I can then reply in a likewise manner.
See you Christmas time

This space is reserved pending a public announcement in the morning.
Here is my statement :~
Many members and visitors, for many different reasons, come to this website to read what is posted. A handful are truly accomplished traders and investors who do what has to be done on a professional basis as the consequence of deep knowledge understanding and experience which if you like amounts to expertise.
There are different categories of visitors and readers, from the highly accomplished right down to absolute beginners.
But everybody reads what is posted.
Some of us are able to pinpoint the fine dividing line that divides sense from nonsense.
Others are not able to do this owing to lack of information, understanding, knowledge and experience. This is not stupidity, this is as a consequence of not having the correct information. the correct facts.
Therefore posting in a public forum in discussion of a serious topic confers upon the poster a great responsibility.
This is because it is very easy for people who are not accomplished and experienced, underpinned by deep knowledge and understanding, which as I say above amounts to expertise, to become totally misled and confused.
As this topic is so unforgiving, there is no room for errors.
Therefore there is a moral responsibility that the serious poster must excercise not to mislead and confuse beginners and others not able to make sound judgements as to the validity and verity of what is posted.
This implies that material which is offered seriously has to stand up to the most rigorous scrutiny in order for it to be categorised as such.
It is no good just to ventilate opinions. I personally never have opinions, but I do hold views.
Elsewhere I have explained the difference between the two. But I am happy to explain it yet once more.
An opinion is a pronouncement made as a consequence of the pronouncer expressing a thought but contained within that thought lies an emotion. An emotion is the by product of personality. The problem with an opinion is that it is tainted by the frame of reference of the pronouncer which may or may not be correct.
A view is a pronouncement made as a consequence of the pronouncer expressing a thought, but the difference is that the thought is stripped of emotion, this is because personality is not allowed to attach itself to a view nor to taint it with emotion.
You can now logically deduce that an opinion is a tainted pronouncement whereas a view is an untainted pronouncement.
You can now understand that a view is an impartial judgement.
This impartial judgement can only be enacted if the judge is properly equipped to do so.
Now we see that not everyone can be a judge.
This is because for the purposes of this explantion a judge cannot succumb to being the arbiter of fashion, or the instrument of politics, or the servant of acquiescence, or the carefree holder of an opinion.
A judge can only be so if he is properly equipped with the correct relevant frame of reference.
This correct frame of reference must be unassailable, in the sense that it must be able to stand up to the most ferocious debate, and be proven, without doubt to be correct.
This brings us to the crux of the matter.
It is not fair, morally justifiable, intellectually defensible, or socially acceptable, or commercially honest to put forward ideas in an arena as dangerous as this one that are not views, and for these views to be the result of and underpinned by irrefutable supportable evidence that they are the correct ones.
All else is very dangerous.
This is because ordinary people do not have the expertise to be able to in practicality discern correctly the differences that exist between fact , fiction and faction.
The dangers are that those of us who are truly in possession of an edge, or several edges for that matter, have acquired them as a result of a long struggle over many years at great cost, therefore you must understand that what is truly an edge is and must be jealously guarded, and it is, because if you ask any expert to put his hand on his heart, he is sure to admit it.
The problem is, that poseesion of a true edge ( which is not just tactical proficency but much much more) also places upon the beneficial holder of that edge a different kind of responsibility which is an acute moral one. It also places the edge holder under pressure.
The moral and humanistic temptation is to step in immediately when it is seen that dangerous avenues of behaviour or even thought are opened up irresponsibly and to squash these to prevent harm being done.
But you must understand that on the other hand there is a limit to which this can be taken, for the reasons I express above.
In all sincerity, I will tell you it is not prudent for you to stray into scenarios within arenas with which you are not totally familiar, and of which you are not a total master, because it is dangerous. It is very dangerous to lead people into muddled thinking and not morally defensible or fair. Is that understood ?
Now then, I do not bear you any animosity whatsoever. I am happy to buy you a beer if and when we ever do meet.
Kind Regards.
