There's an incredible amount of optimism on here today-optimism which I share and which explains why MTR accounts for about half of my liquid assets. It's only that percentage and my instinctive reluctance to commit further that stops me investing even more. Consequently in my posts I can come across as negative sometimes and that brings me into conflict with some posters, one of whom accused me of having multiple identities, despite my posting rarely and, I would think, it being obvious to most on here that I am a relative novice at this game who by whatever means has got lucky. Some posters on here need to realise that others are, by nature, more cautious in their approach to life in general and will always have in the back of their minds the old saying "if something looks too good to be true...…". Then they might be less quick to attach labels to posters who express a more grounded opinion. There's only 1 poster on here I know anything about for sure and that's me! Consequently when somebody else jumps to conclusions about me on the basis of next to no knowledge of me , that person goes down in my opinion of him-indeed I might just start to think he is not all that he purports to be. If that person (and others who align themselves with him) seeks to portray himself as genuine and posting in the best interests of investors generally, I would suggest that he shoots less frequently from the hip.
PS Apologies if this causes any more coffee to be wasted.
