Dick-
Welcome to the board! Those of us who have been reading Carmine's posts recognize that he tends to be both quite enthusiastic (especially about SFMI's price) and correct- eventually. I don't think his price predictions will have much effect on his rep, and I have no problem with them. I don't base my investments on them, but I certainly hope they come true. Making predictions about price is one of the least obnoxious activities on these boards, and I actually find it entertaining. Cheaper than Vegas!
