That's who people voted for. He hasn't changed one bit.

Bush had 5 years Governor of Texas (one of the weakest chief executives in the union*) exp. with no other political experience prior to that, and his years as CEO of various companies were run on losses, much like he did with the state and national budgets.

So try that line again.

EXECUTIVE experience.

I just thought I would beat someone to the punch for that one.

To what? Executives can be awful even if they have EXPERIENCE.

I don't have time to quote every post of yours from that thread. How about you do the work yourself and find me one where you don't sound look like a fool? I just recall you telling Shidoshi not to sell AAPL when I told him to (he could have bought back in lower, at least gotten some type of positive return), and I recall the numerous posts where you argued against any of my recommendations to sell prior to incurring more losses; basically anything other than blindly buying and holding. I recall posts of yours implying a guy like Jim Cramer was a buy and hold guy when in fact he is a schizophrenic trader. Shit, I've already spent more energy on this than I care to. But if you want, I can probably quantify how wrong you are from the date of your posts, but you do the work yourself, I ain't doing it for you.

But any case, you're clearly a guy who's so concerned about being right where I'm a guy who'd rather get it right, even if it means learning from the times I've been wrong.

1 month as a governor of any state outweighs an eternity in Congress.

I'm not concerned about anything on TNL. I just don't do short-term investments, so selling and rebuying while getting the opportunity to pay commissions and shit on both ends just isn't worth the risk to me.

To each their own. It just seems like a noticable number of your posts are centered around you telling others how you're right, as if being right or proving that you were right is meaningful to you. I could be misinterpreting, neither of us really care.

It's better than just running away from an argument, however. Some people just can't tolerate another perspective or one that disagrees with their expert opinion so they withdraw entirely.
