I don't think anyone cares what you do with your money. The pushback is against silly notions of this being any kind of movement. RC did what any rational, money-loving investor/speculator would do - cashed out when it was clear the unsustainable parabolic rally was cresting. Leaving a riot of greater fools in his wake is a necessary by product of this cashing-out process.
