Can’t we all just get along?

Heavens to Murgatroyd, what a terrible idea!

I have no idea if tracking Saul in xls (whatever that is) is a burden to Saul, but I must say that it is a burden to me.

I find myself drawn to gossip, drama and intrigue much as a least weasel is drawn to a succulent young field vole, and as a result I have spent at least seven minutes reading this thread, simultaneously anticipating and dreading a battle of titans (Saul and Anurag), all the while knowing deep in my heart that there is no nourishment here (thus distinguishing this attractant from the succulent field vole analogy made above) – there is no investing lesson, no smart stock tip, no path to wealth and fame. Yet I cannot tear myself away!

Will Anurag leave (which would be a shame)? Will Saul lose his temper (which might actually be kind of fun)? Will Anirban weigh in and take a side? What exactly is xls? There are so many unresolved issues, so many dramatic themes emerging . . . .

And meanwhile, physics is going un-researched, the cherry bonbons and cooking sherry are sitting unattended in the fridge, the dogs are looking very uncomfortable, and TV is silent and dark – in short, no one is doing the important stuff.

So yes, one could say that, in a way, tracking Saul in xls is turning out to be a burden!

Of course, there is the potential that as a project it could provide valuable information that would help make us all better investors, but I do not really care about that. My hurdle is to keep annual losses less than 4%, and since 2009 I have managed to come within shouting distance of this goal. So I am content ignoring the investing side of things, and mostly treat MF boards as social media, where I can bother people anonymously and thus with impunity.

Rich,

Whatever you do, don’t stop posting. You are a wonderful writer.

Anurag,
Don’t you think it would be helpful to see which companies are causing the biggest return?

I second Fletch on that. Are you a professional writer, by any chance?

What exactly is xls?

Hey Rich,
Not sure whether you are being facetious or not, but xls is an Excel spreadsheet.

I hope Daisy and the other dogs are happy dogs :slight_smile:

Take care,
HoHum
