Nice (not really) try to distract.

Grammatical errors please.

Oh no you dint wrote:

[quote]Let me help you wrote:

Grammatical error is a term used in prescriptive grammar to describe an instance of faulty, unconventional, or controversial usage, such as a ​misplaced modifier or an inappropriate verb tense. Also called a usage error. Compare grammatical error with correctness.

Grammatical errors are usually distinguished from (though sometimes confused with) factual errors, logical fallacies, misspellings, typographical errors, and faulty punctuation.

So presumably that would include plagiarism.

1. Relevance to discussion? Nobody has accused anyone else of plagiarism.

2. How can you possibly reach this conclusion from the definition provided?

It seems to me that someone was indeed accused of plagiarism. That’s certainly faulty usage.

It "seems to you". Either someone was or was not. Where is the evidence that someone was?

That’s certainly faulty usage. Really? Your interpretation of the following definition is that plagiarism is a grammatical error?

You really can't think you are going to get away with that.

You said yourself that grammatical errors include “faulty...or controversial usage.” Plagiarism is certainly both of those.

I said no such thing. Please provide evidence otherwise.

Repeating the lie that plagiarism is a grammatical error does not make it so. No matter how many times you repeat the same falsehood, it's still BS.

Hello all, been a long time.

Told you last year that the action this year would be in currencies. Bam. On paper, doing very well already on some foreign asset purchases, which I chose instead of forex. Now am looking at yet another country that looks very promising, and whose currency is headed in the right direction.

Great ytd for me so far on paper, even after transaction and legal costs. There are amazing buying opportunities if you know where to look, and if you are equipped to manage the local situation. Other international money is catching on, especially regionally.

Hope you are all well.

Maserati,

Good to hear from you. Glad things are going well for you.

Hey what do you mean? I didn’t even reply to the worthless Earnie and Portia posts this week. So tell that to those BS artists.

So posts that don’t support you narrative are “worthless”. Good to know.

I’m curious as to exactly what you think is BS about their posts. As far as I can tell, they are factually correct.

Portia: like the name but the information is worthless.

Earnie: non-GAAP fake BS EPS.

There you go both worthless and BS posts.

Yea like currently losing your @$$ in FB.

Hi Igy are you back to real training yet?

Is agip still on here, and still believing the under-reported inflation and unemployment?

EM’s, tough stuff wih currencies. Hard to find the right investment opportunity, all things considered.

Hey Igy what has been the pace of buybacks this year? My sense is that it eased off a bit, but I haven’t followed it. Has been nice being out of the markets, and paying a lot more attention to geopolitics. What a world.

Anybody here think that the proposal to index cap gains will have any legs?

Maserati,

Yes, I am running five days a week about 30 miles. I have a 2 mile road races this Saturday. So doing well thank you. Stock buybacks have been at record levels this year because of the corporate tax cuts. In fact from what I have read a good portion of the volume at times is buybacks. I would think with the mounting deficits indexing capital gains to inflation would have headwinds to passage, but I thought the tax bill of the pervious year was ill advised.

I notice that you like to enhance Portia’s information. Obviously you don’t really think it’s worthless.

Non-GAAP is hardly worthless. Investors such as Warren Buffett believe it has great value.

Portia’s name is enhanced not the information. Warren Buffett is an old goat long since divorced from his value investing roots.

What exactly is “enhanced” about Portia’s name?

You wish you had 1% of Warren Buffett’s investment success. So do I.
