Otto Feud - Final Word

The back and forth with pal Otto has apparently disturbed some people, notably a couple of long time subscribers. So, while I was surprised to see he of the many opinions (just like me - it's what bloggers do) slam a TA post I did without even the slightest hint of humor (as well as inventing claims I supposedly made), I realize this is life. Things happen; people say things and write things and life goes on. As an aside, if I had a nickel for all the stupid things I've written here for which I've had at least a twinge of remorse....

The blog is free content. I am a human, not a machine. No matter how deadly serious the newsletter is about getting the markets right - an update on the gold stocks went out this morning and there is not a shred of content in there other than serious analysis of the current technical situation - I am a human, the blog is free and I have always expressed myself here as a human. Not a market analyst.

This is informal, it's my M.O. for the blog because I am going to have fun in life, no matter how difficult things get or how dire the 'serious' analysts present things to be. If it makes people uncomfortable, this post is my attempt to ease that discomfort by way of explanation.

Subscribers should view the blog as a free resource to add color and definition to the analysis in NFTRH. But it can be a silly place to visit as well. That is because it is written by a sometimes silly person. I will never try to represent myself as a buttoned down sophisticate wearing a smoking jacket sitting in his dark wood trimmed study thinking the deep thoughts of the universe. More often than not the guy writing this blog is wearing flip flops and a tee shirt.

Now, perhaps we can get back to what is really important...

PS: There is a girl standing in the picture to the right. She is surrounded by strange characters and she inhabits a strange world. To my way of thinking and in line with my experience, it is much better to see the financial world from a different place. It's all I ever meant for the blog and to a much more refined extent, the newsletter. I happen to believe it necessary for success and that mindset starts with not trying to be like the more buttoned down analysts. I only want the subscribers and blog readers I should have, whoever you are. :-)

Edit (11:43) Not only does Otto clear things up from his end about the recent "blogsnark", whatever that is, he also ID's a typo I had in the title of this post. Now, that's a pally!
