Hi
John,

I have
been a member of the Realtraders list for about 3 years now and personally was
happy to see you posting again. I have always enjoyed and learned from
your posts and hope you will continue to make them. Just ignore all the
"experts". I am not an expert as I am still in the newbie phase and all
that entails. Thanks for the info on your background.

Good
luck on your move to Charleston. It is a great city. I am just down
the road in Hilton Head and have made many trips to
Charleston.

Keep
up with your posts. I can assure you they will be appreciated by many even
if you don't hear them say so.

Curtain CallHey guys and gals,I was
posting because I thought I had something to say and there was a lull in
the packing process for my move to Charleston, SCFor the record , it
is difficult to post in an environment that can sometimes get hostile and
to defend your good name you are almost obligated to respond to
detractors.This takes time and mental energy.I believe I have earned
my wings and when I or anyone else says something you disagree with ,
please write that person back personally instead of making an issue over
what may be your faulty conclusion. I know a lot about a few
things and a little about a lot of things.My personal background
includes:1. Started investing in new issues at age 16 and also bought
5 acres of land for $750 with my paper route money just outside of
Atlantic City which I recently sold.2. I have been in oil, real
estate , stock and coomodity ventures over the past 45 years.3. I
was a practicing Chemist for 10 years [B.S. PCT&S] and invested in
stocks as a hobby and put RE partnerships together buying farms, selling
off the house and front lots.I worked on the first PVC pipe and space age
plastics.4. I earned my M.B.A. from Drexel University and started my
own Securities firm. I was a millionaire for the first time when I was 28
and lost most of it by age 29 devoting too much time to wine , women
and travel. That is when I had a heart attack.5. I recovered a
little wiser, became a money lender and mail order entrepreneur and went
to Medical College 5 years later and then spent 5 more years studying and
and Interning and becoming Board Certified in Family Practice.My wife
and children ran the business.6.While practicing I was offered founder
stock in a company needing medico/business background on the Board. I saw
too many shenanigans and sold out , a multi-millionaire again.7. I
founded my own company and took it public making it solid with my own
funds and then merged it with someone with a better idea.8. I have
also taken corporate shells public for the sole intention of merging with
operating companies. All the while I practiced good solid medicine [no
malpractice suits in over 20 years].9. I was taken to the cleaners
financially by my wife and two children to whom I bear no anomosity even
though the turmoil lasted 2 years.10. I needed a geographic mental
health relocation and landed in South Carolina in 1995 with the best
position I ever had...36 hour week, no hospital or weekend call and a
salary plus earned bonus of close to $200,000 per year. For the first time
in my life I could go practice , eat , sleep and drink commodities and
security nuances for the past 6 years.I have dozens of useable systems and
methods that run and dry up. I am always on the look out for my own
methodology imporovement or to utilize another's in a mutually
satisfactory way.Financially I am sitting pretty as many of you may or
may not made the travail yet.I certainly wish all of you well.I
make no apologies for my background what I did and how I got there.What I
do resent is the cockiness and arrogance of people who think everything I
write is BS or shilling or whatever their pet peeve is...plus I know
nothing about them that makes them experts.I am a young 61 and have a
40 year old wife and do not have time to deal with the upcoming crap that
always is drummed up on this list and only less worse than Omega.I can see
the Quants of this list in the background and do not want to
play...post...be attacked...defend...post...over and over.To The
Point I would rather communicate with whoever wants to do so on an as
needed basis bilaterally rather than post....and that is where I think the
most prolific past posters I recall who are not here are currently
doing.I have a solid investment portfolio and come to this list to
share ideas on the weaker link right now, speculative S&P. I just like
to win whatever money game I am playing. Spec S&P was a biggy for me
last year when out of securities monitoring.Thanks for your time
and patience if you got to the end.With much appreciation from all I
have learned from the real Realtraders I still recognize on this list and
those who sit back now or have moved on for whatever
reason,JohnTo
