You would need to see your own post again for the definition of arrogant and also being a little distorted. 32%!
@Gandalf stop disagreeing with Kirk he puts up graphs, he must be right.

Yes, facts and evidence have no place in a discussion like this, especially when they're up against an animal photograph.

This kind of hostility to facts and evidence doesn't bode well for the longevity of your career as a stock picker. Stock markets are a brutally efficient mechanism for the transfer of wealth from impatient people to patient people and especially from unknowledgeable people to knowledgeable people. You already tick the wrong box on the first of those metrics so you really need to consider whether willfully ignoring facts and evidence about economics and finance because it doesn't fit your beliefs is a surefire path to riches and prosperity.
