Since the OP is feeling free to toss questions around, here's one for him.

You feel that your advice is such that you could be a bitcoin wealth adviser and yet, self-admitted, you owned no BTC when it topped over $1200. Why exactly is that? Didn't see it coming? You could've made lots of cash following your own advice there.

I have an idea, make yourself rich following your own advice (or go broke, which is more likely) then come back and try again.

Personally, I'll hold my bitcoins, spending a bit at each top I find attractive, meanwhile replacing what I spend by mining.

I own no Bitcoins and in the part of the world where I live it's very hard to acquire them. The only way I could've acquired some is when it was economically feasible to mine it with ordinary laptops, but back then I wasn't aware of Bitcoin. Now with the current difficulty I don't think it can be done profitably (not with the equipment I have at least).

Having said that, I try to give my own POV regarding Bitcoin matters since I'm interested in the topic itself, and try to gather some counter-arguments to mine.
