This is more of an administrative post about the tone of some of the comments left on this site in the last few weeks.
I have been called clueless and disingenuous and that's just today. If you read the top of this page you will see I claim no expertise. This site shares process with anyone who wants to read it. Like every investment manager on the planet I get some things right and some things wrong and you can read about all of it on this site.
You, as an investor, will naturally gravitate to certain styles you like better. The one you like is not the single greatest method for every market condition, neither is mine, and that is OK.
The writing helps to allow me to continue to learn, which is very important for everyone, to keep learning. Anyone reading this content, leaving a nasty comment and implying they are smarter than me, well, being smarter than me is no great accomplishment.
I attribute the nastiness to the market being down and uncomfortable for some people. Still, name calling is absurd and you immediately discount the value of whatever point you are trying to make. If a down market has altered your personality you need to find another approach.

Hi
I am not a professional investor, but an amature. However I enjoy your blog very much and read it consistently. I might not agree with you all the time, but I find that is no reason to be rude and impolite. Keep up the good work. Keep me informed and amused. Thanks
Appreciate the time you spend on the blog. Enjoy reading your insights on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and ignore the bozos.
Hey!
I have a comfortable relationship with your blog because I think you are a very lucid and calm person.
This is a very soothing read for me and although I am not one of your client because I am running my own portfolio, I definitely have picked a person like you to manage my money.
Cheer up!
Ignore them Roger, they envy your success as a blogger. It is quite easy to see these posts for the cheap shots they are.
(P.S. The Ice Cream Cone comment was kinda funny though!)

I almost stopped my blog cause I thought no one read it. Then some people wrote me asking to please continue. The silent majority enjoy and value your blog. Sorry I haven't written before.
I respect your taking the high road here. I have very much enjoyed your voice of calm and sanity, especially as I seem to be making wrong moves left and right in this market. Keep up the good work.
Roger,
I stumbled upon your blog 2 weeks back and have never missed single day since then.
No one know's which way the Markets moves...we guys can atleast share our moves :)
Keep up the good work.
If you leave the door open a lot of riff raff is going to show up along with the quality folk.

I am fairly new to the board. I enjoy the
balance and tone of the
board. Keep up the good work!
As far as I'm concerned you have one of the best blogs out there.
