No since singling him out! He's not unlike many advisors.

Ego gets in the way. It's hard to admit you've been wrong. They refuse to change course. Instead, put major spin on why their investment strategy is working. (pointing out things like Dec 2018, Dec 2018, Dec 2018 - Lookie Lookie Lookie). Forget about the other 10 years. So Sad!

I'm not sure I agree. I don't think there are as many as you might think that are as self centered as this guy.

Maybe I'm wrong.

You’re not wrong.

This is about investing. Some on here will gain through market declines and they're pronouncements cannot be viewed without taking that into consideration.

Indeed there are those who set up their investments to do reasonably well during downturns. But one should also respect the viewpoint of taking advantage of bull markets and not insult those who choose to support such a strategy. We should respect each other and not demean someone because of their viewpoint.

To the usual Igy detractors:

Stealing my handle, posting using my employer’s name, posting using my wife’s name, claiming I am on the brink of death, claiming I support various causes you disagree with, claiming I am alcoholic, various professional and family slanders, are all fair game according to your standards. Of course this emanates from a disgust and anger toward a contrary view that in your mind becomes akin to a religious war. It is obvious you want to shut me up. You are wasting your time. So you get a response in kind. What else do you expect? I am not your dog.

Igy

I like my dog.

I squeeze my lemons.

The demeaning crap happens on both sides.

Investing is every bit as much about perception as it is about market movements. One most definitely affects the other. This place abounds with manipulation and attempted influencing of perception. That's a fuzzy line and it's easy to cross over to a feeling that one or the other side is being provoked.

Hence the backlashes, insults, and the rest.

Ok, I’m calling bullshit on this. First, I had to register my handle after you stole it, so it’s hypocritical of you to complain about someone else doing that to you. Turnabout is fair play, after all. Second, if you believe any of the rest of that, then you are paranoid and delusional. I know who you work for and have seen no one using that name. The rest of your accusations are just nuts.

If you have any evidence to support this nonsense, I’m sure we’d all love to hear it. But based on your history, I expect you’ll divert or blame someone else. After all, that’s what you typically do when you’re caught in a lie.

Since you are a ring leader of shenanigans why should I care about anything you think.

Ah, you diverted and blamed me at the same time. Well done.

Let’s just consider your accusations as more Igy lies. In the absence of any evidence, it’s the only logical solution.

Let’s consider an alternative view. You have an Igy obsession that results from an inferiority complex. You have been a loser all your life and see Igy as your antithesis.

Again you avoid the issue and try to make it about me. Your fantasies about me reveal who the obsessed one really is.

Try something different next time: face the issue at hand. I know you won’t, because you can’t.

Classic projection from a truly disturbed individual.

More of your fantasies about me. How about dealing with your false accusations instead of constantly talking about me. There are other posters here, too.

All your posts are Igy related. What’s up with that?

Sure, you don’t have an issue, like hell.

All of your recent posts have been about me. I thought you were married? Anyway, back to the subject you’re afraid to address:

Nah, you are a turd. I don’t play your game.
