As someone who generally only posts comments when I
think I can help someone or contribute something to the group, I to am sorry to
see John leave.
Unfortunately there have been times when I agree
with his sentiments.
Good luck and good trading,
Ray Raffurty

Hey 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
