It's not at all that he bashed silver. He's just a little snot. It's the way he has worded his opinions from day one. Everyone here knew that there was a correction coming. Nothing goes up that fast without backing off. He thinks he's the only one in the world that knew it, and couldn't wait to come in here and take a big steaming joe. I'm not a trader. I am insuring my Federal Reserve Note holdings. I am looking for a move in gold opposing the move in the dollar. I'd go crazy trying to sell my coins every time I feel that the market is overheated.
It's very simple to avoid confrontation with people you dislike on a discussion board. Just ignore them. Talking about smart investing is already silly, but bashing each other for their way of doing it is not doing anything. We might as well talk about religion.
I've been moderating discussion boards for close to 8 years now and hope my statements & charts haven't offended anyone's personal strategy of building wealth. While I am sure my "wording" may have been perceived wrongly, or "rubbed someone the wrong way", I would expect the ability to explain my position, instead of being called a troll. By continuously insulting this member (who does actually ignore all of it) nothing is being accomplished. Predicting anything in a world economy like ours is a gamble, the chances for being right or wrong are just about 50%.
I do understand the apprehension that comes towards newcomers who dare to have an opinion, though. Unless their opinion interferes with your investment strategy, there's really not much to talk about. Silver/ Gold/ Platinum/ Palladium/ Copper and all the other things will do what they do, independent of anyone's opinion. if anyone had the ultimate recipe to get a free lunch, I'd doubt they would participate on a forum... because they'd be busy trading whatever brings the next buck.
