A last post:

I don’t have a problem with holding people accountable by demonstrating or pointing out where their thesis went wrong. That seems very much like what we should be doing.

Then please let me point out one thing which is never pointed out here since our very impolite XYZ (I forgot his name) is gone: Since many years now practically ALL conservative, value-oriented recommendations here are losers, no matter who recommended them. Instead XYZ´s high-growth stocks are the clear winners. Not lately, but since many years. Just one prominent example: XYZ always was furious (he always was furious :) that for so many years Amazon was ridiculed here ("no profit", "burning money" ...). Look at the result.

It´s an unpleasant truth, but that´s the reality --- and one of the reasons why I don't believe any longer people can assess stocks and their future prices.
