There are:
1) Lies
2) Damnable Lies
3) Statistics
This is clearly an example of #3
Well said.
I disagree. This is an example of all three that you cited (lies, damnable lies, statistics.) Statistics, itself, is solid. The interpretation of statistics, however, is dependent on one's beliefs.
It's the beliefs that lead us astray. Not the statistics.
Dead right.
This does not exhibit a trend that supports the statement. Not when there are so many high spenders that do so poorly and so many low spenders that do well.
Bravo Sierra.
IBD needs to be read carefully and objectively. Do not mistake it with balanced reporting or conservative reporting. It has an agenda and it does not seem to be one of mine.
