55. 1) I don't consider knowing what you are doing "speculation" and

2) where the hell do I claim anything different?

What is the purpose of your post?

Other than the fact it allowed me to spend the next ten years trying to help the world, and other than the fact that I rejected a successful Wall Street career because it did nothing for the world and nothing for my soul, nothing.

Other than the fact that it allows me to help Dem candidates, animals around the world, and has allowed me to help people in need, including some people right here on this forum (and I detest that you've made me reference that) - well, actually, it's done quite a bit for many people besides myself.

It's pretty much gone at this point, but it's virtually all been well spent.

Meanwhile, what is your problem?

I took the money of people who were trying to do what I was doing, but were doing it worse. And frankly, because I traded overreactions that I knew were contradicted by fundamentals that would reassert themselves in a timely manner, I was basically always long. So what on Earth is your point?
