Playground exchange is right. But I am not the "schoolboy" who tries to convince other people to follow their stock picks. Repetitive I may be, but that is only because of his self-important arrogant attitude.
Sorry lorenzo, he was caught with his schoolboy pants down and is too full of himself to admit his error. He has most certainly not answered and addressed the issue. A self-proclaimed analyst who massages his own stock pick predictions cannot be trusted for one minute. You choose to follow his advice in the future at your own peril.
You need reminding of your own work? Did you or did you not publish the following?
on Feb 15th "....we remain neutral toward NTO and will wait for some encouraging news before taking a position...."
on May 8th ".....Both of our stock picks (FRG and NTO) for 2007 have generated the exact same annualized return… 143%. It must be a magic number.........."
You did NOT pick NTO on the 15th February, yet you claim it as a pick on the 8th May.
The evidence is as clear as it could possibly be; one example or not, it is clearly false information. You cannot admit your error like a man, all you can do is hide behind a wall of sarcastic comment and dare to give me advice on how i should spend my weekend. It is clear that your advice is something built on shaky ground.
Did you or did you not say "neutral NTO" and then say "NTO is our stock pick" 143% points later? A simple question.
Oh, and your record now also includes insulting total strangers whose only crime is to point out your clearly false claims of 143% stock pick gains.
Your record is getting worse by the post.
Why not throw another gratuitous insult? It seems to suit your character. I am quite sure that this little exchange has enlightened a few people to your personal moral standards. Hopefully they will never take your analysis seriously again.
You accuse somebody of 'whining' who in fact pointed out in important factual error in your analysis. That is not "slinging mud", it is called "being correct".
It is not a public disservice, it is a public service.
The only person annoyed by the plain and undeniable fact that you massaged your own stock call to suit yourself is you.
You eventually and grudgingly 'concede the point' when in fact you should be apologizing to the readership for YOUR deliberate misrepresentation. Not to me. I don't want or need your apologies. You owe an apology to the (presumably) hundreds of people who read this part of the website.
Instead of cake, try some humble pie next time.
I hope you have learned not to defend the indefensible.
It's difficult to take seriously anyone who repeatedly tries to defend their blatant misrepresentations. You now "claim" a 20% betterment of the gold indices. Is that including the 143% false NTO "stock pick" or including it?
It would seem the diligent investor would have to carefully check all your "claims" before taking any advice from you. Frankly, most have better things to do than hunt through all your supposed stock recommendations to check whether they were in fact buy recommended or simply mentioned in passing and jumped upon later.
"....we remain neutral toward NTO and will wait for some encouraging news before taking a position...."
However on May 8th you wrote:

You "remain neutral" on a stock then conveniently claim it as a "stock pick" 143% later. As for "magic numbers, you sure have got them working for you!
Consider yourself well and truly exposed. You publish and you think you are unacountable for your publications? Wrong.
I suggest readers remember two things: Firstly that old saying "you get what you pay for" and secondly that goldguru does not charge access to his website.
What's the point here? Were we supposed to buy GDX, GGN, GLD, IAU, SLV at the bell this morning (and lose), or wait until Friday/Monday/June?
And will this be like the previous note "Our 2007 Gold Stock Picks: How Are We Doing?" where you claimed success for picking NTO at $3.75 in February when in fact you called it a "hold" on that day?
