RE:ExperiencedNobleHouse....good post
The answer to your first question is quite simple. Your questions related to personal information I have regarding another person who has posted in the past.on SH. I have a business association with that person. While still in regular contact with this person to this day, I respect that person's privacy and as such decline to provide any additional information. If that person wishes to say something in regards to your question that is their decision - not mine. I have passed your question to that person.
As for your other point.
Yes... I have said many times in the past, to be successful in investing it is important to get all views even if they are 180 degrees from your point of view and take them into account before making an investment decision. Part of this is to understand that no one is an expert on everything and so I have cultivated over the years a network of people who know more than me about certain things. This includes a wide range of people from technical/scientific to business to Government to miltitary.
Frankly, the ability to call someone up and ask a simple question - "What do you think/know about X" has paid dividends to me over the decades and I encourage everyone here to do the same.
