Trades82, I agree with a lot of your post, but in some area I think we need to show respect to anyone’s decision how to “ride” his/her investment.

I welcome “shorts” day traders , etc. Pavel maybe has different views from most of us but I enjoy debating with him, its like playing chess with good opponent. Here is good thought from another board :”  … There is no need to become militant about an investment. Do as you must, but respect the open nature of this board, which is to discuss (LAC). Not to align with authoritarian views on who 'dares' to do what on a public forum.

...How people decide to manage their investments is not up for debate on this forum."

 Guys , lets exercise Tolerance and acceptance of any opinion. And have polite FUN.
