"Krell" is a buzzword

When I look at how the posts involving Krell deteriorate to the point of civil(actually not so civil) war, I have to say that "Krell" has become a buzzword. It seems as if you just have to mention the name, and the mobilization begins. Sooner or later the insults sink to the level that make the thread completely unrecognizable from the original question. I am more neutral than not on Krell(probably not many of us around). Used to dream about them in my bigger is better solid state days, but have since moved in other directions. Now I am a definite tubeophile, and don't even think about Krell. But, I don't say you cannot build a great system around their products. Just have to apply the right surrounding components. But don't you have to do that with many brands of amp? So, do you agree that Krell has become a buzzword, and why?

Margin, you are one to talk about showing off money. "Margin Call", an obvious bragadocia, that you either own many stocks, or are a broker, or are pretending same. I should call myself "got it all", and then I would be like you. I'm just getting started in the stock market. Is a gain of 5000% in a single day a good time to sell that stock? I need to know, because I now have more money than sense, and am contacting Bill Gates to ask if he'll shine my shoes for me....

Margin, it was a joke, and I have no margin account, that's only for gamblers. I like to invest my OWN money, not borrow someone else's to gamble away. Greed doesn't drive a real investor anyway....greed is for criminals. The desire to participate in commerce, and build a profitable portfolio is an honorable one, and I suspect that you missed that life-lesson a long time ago................No, I disagree that Krell is "just in it for the money". Who are you, their analyst? How could you possibly know what their profit margin is, or what their gross income is at any given time? Admit it, you just don't like Krell because it's a large manufacturer of solely highend equipment, and didn't get swallowed up by a conglomerate like Harman, the way Levinson did...and somehow you are jealous that you couldn't have a company of your own as nice as this one. Krell is sort of like Porsche, the last autonomous manufacturer of sports cars, THE WORLD OVER. Times got tough for them, and they still didn't need Fiat or Ford to bail them out (the way Ferrari and Jaguar did). They survived on their R&D, and always stayed in the black, even when per unit car sales went south in the late 80's. Krell is a solid company that builds quality products, and knocking them proves how petty and loathesome their know-nothing detractors are...at least for me it does. I've seen them for years, since long before the internet was popular. What is said here to discredit Krell, is noting that hasn't been said by hundreds of others over the last 15 years or so. None of you are saying anything new, and yet people still like their product. Go figure...

My portfolio is mostly in the Nasdaq exchange right now, and it was still up until yesterday, and I espect it to go up at least 100% in the coming year. I disagree that the word "greed" describes the investor's motivation. Greed implies a selfish desire to take from others, and this is not the investment model.
