You lately keep aligning profesional status with social capital (for example yesterday your assersion bulls were mainly non degree educated). This must well up from your sense of superiority and thus places your own selse of worth above others.

Why do you have this need?

My last Doctor, had the degree, having learned parrot fashion - his own admission. Was he more intelligent than the average Joe - I doubt it. He had almost no spelling ability for starters and the listening skills of a dead stoat.

How interesting to hear the anecdote about your doctor.

Your first point might have carried more weight if you had the faintest clue what social capital was. (Clue: it has nothing at all to do with education, as you appear to think it has.)

Neither of my parents have a degree and I know many intelligent people without one. A degree isn't proof of intelligence; it is, however, proof of a certain level of education, which helps one, for example, to know the meaning of phrases like 'social capital'.

I have long been struck by the fact that the bears on here are v highly educated with good jobs, while the bulls seemed to have a high proportion of people who can't spell (and surely they can't all be dyslexic?) and who appear to do little other than post on here all day.

TBH, I've been too polite to say so for about 2 years, but I find it impossible to believe I'm the only person to have spotted this.

They may be "highly educated" but they don't seem to have grasped what proof-reading is yet though...

Think you are confusing yourself dear. The bears are highly educated and have a high proportion of people who can't spell?

Thanks, who needs to proof-read when I have you to do it for me unpaid?

Now edited - ta.

BTW - have you not noticed it too?

Can't say I have tbh. Just as many typos and gibberish to be found in 'bear' posts as there are from the 'bulls'.

Many of you so-called 'bears' are actually 'chickens'.

Chickens are afraid to lose anything. Their fear overrides their need to make profits and so they turn only to money-market securities or get out of the markets entirely. While it's true that you should never invest in something over which you lose sleep, you are also guaranteed never to see any return if you avoid the market completely and never take any risk.

Bulls & Bears - What's the difference? Did we ever get an answer to that question before the thread went 'off on one'?;)

A link to something factual normally kills a thread stone dead. So please stop doing it.
