This is probably my favorite CP thread. People are cordial, offer advice and there’s very little bickering.

Two primary reasons:
1/ My job is markets. I am literally glued to them 24hrs a day. I come to CP for the escape of hearing people heap scorn on Alex Smith.
2/ My expertise is global interest rates and my trading style lends itself to shorter-term (multi-day rather than multi-month) moves. My understanding was this thread was more geared toward discussing single name equity plays. I honestly feel I have no edge and nothing to add in that arena. All of the personal money I have invested (disclaimer: because of the nature of my job, I maintain a larger-than-normal cash allocation for mental health reasons) is passive.
The sad reality is the bulk of professionals who are paid to pick stocks and spend every waking moment attempting to do so aren't very good at their jobs. Markets are really, really, REALLY hard.
