The problem is - and I truly believe this - is that when our markets are turned into casinos, it tends to undermine the strength of our economy

I love our country and have strong faith in our economic system too, that's why I was very happy to see the up to 100% margin requirements placed on the nets for the 8M newly populated on-line accounts.

Currently I just have the 500 Amzn shares and I ALWAYS speculate Less than 10% of my stocks' portfolio. The other 90% are "buys" and "holds" and no nets.

Am I still gambling, a small yes.
