mr jones, when you read top guns, what is coming off as snobbery is simply someone who is very confident in his knowledge.  It doesn't matter what you personally think of the moderator, but I strongly recommend that you read every one of his posts.  There may be nobody in any financial forum who has ever posted more useable information to help a newby help clients while making money for themselves.

P.S. My money is on Ferris in a back alley brawl.  I'll lay 3-1 odds.

"One thing I dont like is when a good question is put out and inevitably after three or four post it becomes side tracked and goes off course with a bunch of crap and name calling that goes on and on for pages… " (excerpt from my previous post)

  Guess I am as guilty as everyone else....   BTW i dont like donuts... i'm more of a muffin guy or maybe a good hot chocolate chip cookie... you know ferris i have put on a few pounds this last year.... I guess jogging three and half miles every other day isnt enough any more... hate getting old   oh on fighting, never forget one of the best lessons I ever leaned in basic training (Army) Ft. Dix New Jersey, for an alabama boy it was cold up there even in the summer.. anyway i digress... it was about 8 weeks into the 10 weeks, i walked into one of the rooms on my floor ( we had 8 men rooms AIT Baracks) anyway i was tough having just nearly completed basic, i walked into that room and there was this goofy kid with coke bottle glasses running the drill sgt down..... full of piss and vinegar i told the kid to shut up and if he didnt like it i would kick his ass.... and this is beautiful.. the kid gets up and looks at me, grins and man he hit me three times before i hit the ground... I had more lumps on my head than a sack of potatoes.... anyway i go out to formation looking like Mr. Potato head, the Drill Sgt wants to know what happens... I fell down the stairs drill Sgt... he knows it BS but lets it go... valuable lesson   maybe you could learn from it too Ferris,  maybe your goofy coked bottle glass guy is right around the corner,  by the way I love you man.

  I Know........... that really isnt what you want to hear,,, so now you will tell me not to post but to lurk,,,, in my defense,,, i havent posted in any forum other than to ask a question,,,  or in the lounge (all things to all people)  ,,,, but it seems that if you said the sky is blue and i said yes so brilliantly blue you would still curse me and my entire exsistance,,,,,   I come here to learn,  and i have learned quite a bit, that there are some great FA's out there with great experiences and lessons learned,,, and there are bitter ass holes who hate anyone who dares think they can enter this realm ,,,,   in any event i find it all to be ..... well tolerable... so take your best shot, you cant imagine what i have been through and what truly your pompus, trivial meandering .... well i think you get the picture... your not on my A list       By the way,    who puts WWW, topgunproducers.com as thier tag line,,,,,,,   your not the moderator?  c'mon i could be 10 different people on here if i wanted to ......   I think you need to go back to ego maniac land and get a fix......
