That said, I don't think Risto is ever really trying to be pompous. He may have a little fun with the successes he has had and post a comment here and there about it, but I think his heart is one that wants to encourage us not to "throw in the towel" so to speak and hold on or buy more coins and try to see the big picture. He has been in this a bit longer than many of us have and has reaped the rewards that could well be ours too if we just show a little patience and self-control.
I can agree with the residue without agreeing with the bold. I think he is trying to be pompous from time to time. It's part of his sense of humor. At first he went low-class pompous (think Burberry baseball caps). Now his tastes have developed, and he's tending high-class pompous (fine cigars and complex wines) which I find more amusing, personally. Not surprising, perhaps, that some find either equally offensive.
That said, I prefer market analysis to Risto analysis. It seems likely to be more profitable, albeit more difficult.
