Consider this post as a plea. A holiday gift to your Moderator….and your fellow posters.
I chose to name this - and it’s once-annual predecessor threads - “Roundtable” as a nod to the worthy, eagerly-anticipated flagship set of interviews Barron’s would publish each quarter. A perspicacious, highly insightful yet extremely wide-ranging and often light-hearted discussion between a handful of the investment industry’s leading lights (sad fact: I never made the cut, and my father was retired from the trenches by the time Barron’s began it).
Unlike its namesake, this venue is, of course, open to all. But once again, I ask that in addition to occasional banter in which I certainly also love engaging, you confine your presentations to ones that give new, worthwhile, thought-provoking ones. If you have something to add, by all means, write it. At the same time, if you disagree with another, have the courtesy both to that poster AS WELL AS the rest of this community to present why you think otherwise.
Perhaps, although I am not holding my breath, this platform’s “thumb down” policy will change. As I have written before, I disdain its use, period, and those of you who make use of it more than sparingly are highly correlated with those whose opinions I value least. Consider that as we wind down this annus horribilis.
. My guess is the goal might be to abate the perpetuation of unsubstantiated FUD somehow. Maybe he doesn’t even know right now. I at least appreciate the sentiment.
