"This writer does not really mind being questioned or called out, but this is a TERRIBLE and most difficult manner in which to communicate...no voice inflection to hear, no facial expression to see, no way to butt in and ask for clarification."
Agree that it is quite easy to get the wrong impression. I tend to be a sarcastic person, my friends know that, and, so in person, no problem figuring what's going on. Typing on this board, that's a completely different story.
The predictive part of your post gets a "Very clear." It also cleared up my confusion with respect to the 80% thing. Will be interesting to see what occurs in the next few trading sessions.
Good luck in the competition.
