PS – regarding your second post, which you posted while I was writing the last one. Unlike many forum posters I do not feel comfortable divulging my personal financial situation on a public forum. I specifically think it’s a bit crass to talk about profits one has made in the markets.
This site is about the economics of the housing market, not about me. My personal transactions are irrelevant to the topic at hand. And writing about the market doesn’t oblige me to put any of my private info into the public domain.
As I recall I was not “politely asked” anything. You posted an incorrect assumption as fact. When I asked you to stop, you re-posted it. When I asked you to stop again, you asked that I “offer up” more personal information rather than respecting my wishes.
All that said, I apologize for reacting so violently and I do appreciate your compliments. I over-reacted because I am really angry about the way that WSJ spun things and left out pertinent facts to make me look bad, and right now I am overly sensitive about further misrepresentation of my personal info.
I have now clarified the situation, despite my discomfort with publicly sharing this kind of stuff, and hopefully that puts things to rest.
sdcellar thanks for being sensitive to the regulatory shackles. This is being posted as an anonymous “admin” and there is no name attached. I am hoping that’s allowed.
