Sorry if it is offensive - at least I didn't swear this time



But surely an alternative view is required sometimes and I am happy to live by my opinions. I certainly get paid from them.


Shorting RIO at $66 (three days before the bottom) due to using a narrow method I believe is voodoo lost lots of money.  Shorting RIO on a questionable fundamental analysis like Ducati's, in my view, is also not going to make money.


. My disagreement has nothing to do with fundamental versus technical


Plenty of funny stuff goes unquestioned on the forum and I would like to provide an alternative view point. Plenty of people also get bagged on here for various ideas - particularly those requiring the opening of a quartely production report or buying a company that actually has earnings.


Go to the CDU thread and check out some of the really well researched and backed-up rubbish I have been exposed too. I got called a commie FFS!


Nobody gets it right all the time and hindsight is 100% but an alternative view should always be accepted. My points of view during the time in question are as public as the next guy's. Sometimes I think that if you learnt all you know about stocks from this forum you wouldn't have a stock in your portfolio that actually made money.


If someone wants to say that buying BHP and RIO at 9 times earnings is foolish when they are cum-upgrades is voodoo or rubbish or dumb or silly I am happy to hear why. You and me have had some excellent discussions...


I am not so precious to be concerned by someone disagreeing with me. I think I learn more by being in discussions where not everyone is thinking the same.


Is RIO still going to $50?


If not - why not and what has changed since Sept apart from the chart?
