It seems that Igy is the infatuated one. So sad that he resorts to hiding behind others' names. Complete lack of character.

Operating earnings is a non-GAAP number, excludes stock based compensation and failed business expenses.
What are 'Operating Earnings'
Profit earned after subtracting from revenues those expenses that are directly associated with operating the business, such as cost of goods sold, administration and marketing, depreciation and other general operating costs. Operating earnings are an important measure of profitability, and since this metric excludes non-operating expenses such as interest and taxes, it enables an assessment of the company's core business profitability to be made.
Reminder...the real Igy is on record as having left the thread months ago. His name was stolen and has been used by a troll.
GOI disappeared a long time ago. This troll is just fooling everyone.
Igy I jumped into a 5k today to get some racing in my legs (and mind) and had a middling result...20 seconds faster than my last 5k - just 3 weeks ago - but this was a faster course. But it was bloody freezing so that cost me a bit. It it were 50 degrees I bet I would have run 10-20 seconds faster.
It's coming down to aging vs absolute speed...my age graded score was pretty good for a road race, but the absolute time wasn't.
So I dunno. Hard to know when you need to settle and accept the fast times of old aren't coming back.
I think I'm not ready to settle yet...I think the problem is that I'm tired from a long 'up' period so I haven't been running enough miles.
Three weeks to go for my season...
agip,
Good racing. I went thru a phase where I had to make somewhat of a compromise between expectation and facts. That said, if you are like most masters athletes, the promise still remains higher than the compromise. I certainly know I have sold my self short at times.
Age grading is a good yard stick for potential. If I am getting in the work and making progress that is often enough for me. This week all my key training days showed an element of progress. It gives me confidence for the week ahead, next month or season. I suppose that is what one should look for.
Keep it up and let me know how the races go.

yes, agreed that it is all about progress - the satisfaction of running a workout or race better than last week, etc.
next 5k in 2 weeks - fast course, good competition. So I'll go out after it and see if I can get another 20 second improvement.

That explains a lot. This guy's been out of control lately. I guess he tired of being behind the mask.
And the cat sitting on my lap while a type, is an alternative fact.
The alternative fact is that you consider that as getting some pussy for your tiny dick.
The real Igy would never embarrass himself, his family, or his former athletes like this troll has done. This is not the real Igy.

It's hard to disagree with this.
The original GOI was adamantly against the stealing of handles. He would never do such a thing, unlike this imposter troll.
And he would never -- NEVER -- resort to dick references.
There is a clever troll among us.

No, thanks.
Igy might call you a "dick."
Not likely, but the troll GOI has no problem hiding behind an anonymous handle to sling insults, as you just demonstrated.

I don't but it!
Nobody has stolen his handle. It's just his way of not wanting to lay claim to some of his ridiculous post.
I don't blame him.
"If you are an investor who cannot tolerate the idea of the market advancing without your participation, it may be best to bind yourself to a passive investment stance, and stick to it, provided that you can also tolerate whatever losses the market endures without abandoning your position. Many people can easily endure losses, provided those losses are experienced in the company of others, yet can’t bear to miss out, or endure losses, when the crowd is making money. If that describes you, then honestly, don’t read my stuff, because it’s not appropriate for your temperament. Frankly, I don’t believe that what passive investors are doing here actually represents “investment†in any valid sense of the word (i.e. purchasing a stream of future expected cash flows at a price that implies a satisfactory risk-adjusted return), but it does address the psychological desire to experience the same fluctuations that others do."

So Hussman tries to redefine the word "investment" to fit his own narrative. What chutzpah!
"Presently, based on the most historically-reliable valuation measures we identify, we expect annual total returns for the S&P 500 averaging just 0.6% over the coming 12-year period; a prospective return that we expect will not only underperform bonds over this horizon, but even the lowly yields available on risk-free T-bills. Like the unwindings that followed the 2000 peak and the 2007 peak, there will be points in the interim where the prospective total return on stocks will likely be elevated (as a result of steep market losses and improved valuations), providing patient, flexible investors substantial opportunities for long-term total returns. Keep your eyes open, and look forward. Don’t equate a market that has been driven astoundingly beyond the historical bounds of prudence with a market that is actually safe. As in 2000, 2007, and every other bubble peak across history, the “safety†investors feel as they look at the glorious ascent in the rear-view mirror is actually nothing but recklessness before consequences."
