If I remember correctly, you say Soros is a loser; Dennis is a loser; Buffet is
a loser...

Richard Dennis is a loser because you think he is? Have you taken the time to
look at his year over year performance for his entire public trading career? Or
Soros? Or Buffet?

>From what I can tell in your posts, you have no real knowledge of any of these
traders--you're just shooting from the hip. You read an article and now you are
a qualified critic of public fund managers? How long have you been managing
public money? Do you have a chunk of your own money invested with a fund
manager?

The sage advice you offer is fine, on its own. But do you really feel qualified
to say that these fund managers are 'history?'

It's really easy to take shots at public figures from the 'cheap seats...'
