Post #13719 by knighttof3 on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Remembering your posts, Jim, my hunch is this is in line with your observation that bear markets develop slowly, that the "buying the dips" reaction needs quite a while to disappear, that it needs time for temporary hope to be replaced by permanant frustration/depression, explaining the markets first going sideways, but with constant ups and down.

A good rule of thumb is that the stock market exists to frustrate the maximum number of people for the maximum amount of time.

I am waiting for Jim's 99-day rule to kick in. I think he posted on METAR about it. What is it now, day 45-50?
