    JB seems to have also gone quiet since I reminded him of his incredulity (on the same thread in 2009) that Graham would class people as 'bulls' and 'bears' based on anything other than how you feel about a particular market/asset class at a particular time.

    Oh well, back to work I suppose. Thanks for the chuckles Devon and JB. :rotfl:

    Pleasure.
    I wasn't discussing what Graham does.
    I was discussing what you do (and yes if you need me to say it to make you feel better, what I do too).
    You asked where you had stated Graham was in a group.
    I have now provided two examples.
    It's not really a big deal, everyone does it, except it's become a big deal as you threw down the statement in some kind of challenge and now don't like the fact I called you on it.

    Just to show you that's there no hard feeling I'll happily disclose another of the groups I have you belonging to if you want.

    Can't we all just go back to laughing at The J? that was much more fun.

    I don't 'like' or 'dislike', it's just an internet forum after all, so let's not assign emotion to my plain text, just as I won't assign emotion (or indeed motive for posting) to my having called you (twice) on your hypocritical postings. ;)

    I don't believe that you 'called' me on it though, to be fair. I may use the words 'bear' when describing the group of people who call themselves 'bears' as it's easier than listing them individually. However, they're the ones who categorised themselves, not me. I never really refered to any individual as a 'bull' because no one has ever listed themselves as a 'bull', as far as I recall, at least in the definition stated by GD in that earlier post.

    Anyway, it's a minor point and GD did manage to muddle the waters a little by taking us down that tangent. The cruz of the issue is that Graham really does want/need to belong to a group, as evidenced by his trite posting from 2009 that you, rightly, was incredulous at.

    Anyway, I'm signing off for a week while I go away on holiday (thought I'd mention that in case some 'emotive' reason was assigned to my absence ;)) so I hope you'll all watch over the place while I'm gone. :)
