Or at least much more patient.
I’ve pretty much given up on arguing or even commenting on threads where people use terms that, just by the way they are typed indicate the poster has no idea what they are talking about.
I asked a long time ago for someone on that daily thread to explain if they knew the difference between coupon and yield on a bond and what it actually means. No one, and I mean NO ONE ever did, nor have I ever seen any indication that any of the old regulars could answer it. As a poster a long time ago pointed out, most of them don’t know the difference between common stock and livestock.
You are absolutely spot on correct in pushing back against that insidious and stupid “Casino” line of thinking. “Don’t put money there because I think it’s rigged” is and has been a regular sentiment on DU for literally decades now.
Cheers, old friend. You’re a better man than I am!
Happy Holidays.
