Nancy, I think you confuse “talking round and round in circles” with “objectivity.” And unfortunately being objective means presenting more than one side of an issue. Every single discussion I’ve entered into here I’ve taken a specific position and clearly explained why. If you disagree, you can point out the issue – and please be very specific. You won’t hurt my feelings.

Unfortunately we, and clearly you, live in a soundbite world. But investing and economics are not soundbite professions despite CNBC’s indications to the contrary. They’re full of nuances and complications, many of which are not understood well by the general public and some of which I try to address in my posts. Unfortunately, even these dumbed-down posts take up a little space. But I’ll try to be more cognizant of your short attention span and reading comprehension difficulties in the future. A piece of advice: Stay away from things called “books” – many words, sometimes very complicated – you won’t like them. Oops, that was condescending, wasn’t it? 🙂
