Please stop the ad hominem attacks. Troll behavior is easy but not helpful for anyone. dealraker (aka chompin) has made many interesting stock suggestions over the years, and often throws in some useless trash talking. Some of these stock tips are not explained as clearly as mungofitch's posts, at least to me, but few people have mungofitch's clear writing style. I can follow mungofitch's logic, and appreciate the effort in teaching me how to fish. dealmaker sometimes shares fishing tips without much explanation. These can be useful.

Both dealmaker and mungofitch value Dartboard portfolios and Berkshire. Both are busy with life, and I appreciate the time they spend posting here. And there are many other high quality posters.

Anyone making ad hominem attacks loses my confidence. ad hominem attacks are a sign of weakness. Why not discuss the investing topic directly? This is not a beauty contest. We are here to discuss investing. The ignore button is always available.
