Saul,
By now you’ve received overwhelming support for continuing to post your monthly results. I completely support your decision. There are several reasons:
-
This board relies heavily on the numbers, as you’ve stated many times. Saying “a little bit” or “moderately” means different things to different people. It’s too squish-y. A specific numerical result, however, provides a concrete result. We can then benchmark against your result. Truly, who cares if someone says these results are preposterous!!!
-
Bench-marking provides many advantages to those of us in learning mode. For one, it forces us to question why we are not getting similar results, so it’s back to the drawing board. For another, it provides a strong incentive to up our individual games. Many of us aspire to play with the big guys, and dedication and discipline are key to achieving that objective. You’ve provided a very sensible framework with which to approach hyper-growth investing, and your results confirm what an incredible role model you are.
-
Providing timely concrete results provides strong encouragement to stay in the game during periods of great stress. This cannot be stated strongly enough.
I continue to be amazed at the generosity you display on this board, with absolutely no ulterior motive except to properly educate a group of like-minded investors.
Thank you,
breezyday
