on the contrary - I am doing close textual reading - no throwing up here.
here's what you say:
"Second, what I do requires work, but it is work that I understand, unlike trying to strategically invest within the existing climate to extract yield. To me, what I do is less risky than it would be at the moment to "invest", but it is by no means "easy", as you wrongly suggest."
ok, so far you say your investment work is "by no means 'easy'" which sounds like it is, well, hard.
then you say elsewhere beating the market:
"has not been hard either this year or last"
you don't see a contradiction here? Is it "by no means easy" or is it "not hard?"
of course beating the market is hard - but you want to project this sense of an easy end-around of the markets - just ticked me off here. But I hear yuo - you are usually invested.
i'm hoping we can cut this off soon with some understanding. maybe some shade of gray. Grigio metalico?
