There has been a lot of lamenting at Paul's inability to control the capitalization workflow as well as he has the product design, engineering, and development workflows. The difference is in what Paul can predict and what he cannot. Which of you honestly foresaw oil going to less than $50 a barrel in Q4? Who thought interest rates would stay this low this long? And the stock market? These are all factors that are impossible for even the most informed and sophisticated to get right more than about 55% of the time and yet all of these factors are critical ones that investors weigh every day when making decisions about where to invest. Say what you like, but those of you who criticize Paul for his evident inability to make it rain are peeing into the wind. Paul's excellence on the engineering and marketing side do not give him some magical ability to control underlaying variances in the business cycle.

well said, and with that said, I disagree. Without delving into the facts that might give you another perspective, and to help your position, why not come back again in a year and say "I told you so", or "I was wrong".
If I could predict the future with certainty, I'd be driving a Rolls, not an Elio.

I just had a post deleted by a moderator for the first time.
I apologize to the forum for being offensive.:(
I hope we're cool.:cool:

Like I say, you get passionate sometimes. I like that about you, you'r a very heart felt person.
So I can forgive a few foo-paws from you, if you can forgive a few of my sillinesses too.
(Speaking as just one of the members, al bet one of the more verbose ones :) )
I do kind of wish I'd seen your post. Can you re-write it more acceptably?

It was a snarky reply to another post.

And thank you.

LOL, so honest! It's tuff isn't it? Sometimes I can't help it either. When I do I feel really bad about my behavior afterward.

One thing I do, after I launch a reply, re-read it. and edit it. I try and do that before hand, but sometimes the 'impact' isn't obvious to me for a few minutes.
I also like that you can withdraw your own posting. Of course if you haven't done that inside of a few minutes, the damage is done (maybe).
