sdrealtor, I just spoke with a lady I met recently, who is a life coach, and asked her how to handle unprovoked criticism.
Re-read the original thread, and the 2 subsequent whine-fests you started in defense of your defenseless position that "at risk" = "expected". You were/are being criticized b/c you spun the quote to make it appear more bearish, as you often do. The criticism was neither personal nor unprovoked, it was an observation from serveral people who read you often and compliment your efforts for the most part. Several of us who are obviously schooled in basic economics have tried to tell you that there is an important fundamental difference between the two terms, yet you refuse to budge.
Your quest to be right 100% of the time is amusing. None of us are right all the time – we should all be happy to get more right than we get wrong. Even you PS.
Have a great weekend – we'll have to agree to disagree. I'll wear kiddie gloves when replying to your posts in the future.
