Hey DB, (probably should be DA, but let's not go there)

It's not a cheap shot to point out when a professional stockbroker (retired) may possibly be intentionally misleading neophytes with excessive appeals to emotion based on statements of fact that rarely are verified.

Professional broker, way way emotional about an investment ... if you see an elephant in the top of a tree, there's nothing wrong with telling the excited crowd handing money to the ticket taker that it might not be a real elephant, and it might not be a real tree, and there might be some trick creating that illusion.
