After reading a few post in the last few minutes. What makes people think that if a tpa says something is real and you dont is a gotcha moment. I think you should be complemented for making up your own mind. There is no gotcha when it comes down to your knowledge and your money.
I think that is why there is more and more discussion on what is or is not authentic. That is a great thing.
If two or three years ago I put up pieces by Barry Halper you what have called iit a gotcha moment. Same goes for Mastro, Bushing Medina and others. The reason this site works is because you are becoming a lot smarter on what you believe is fact vs fiction.

Now would this have been a gotcha moment. This a Halper piece. The one in the middle.
