You made a clerical error posting to me, DAK, I don't expect my spouse to understand investing. Maybe because I already have a spouse and he doesn't understand investing.
Nor does my dad. I just got a call from him, he says he just read in Kiplinger's an article about "Ten Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever." The list - AXP, DNA, GE, CSCO, NOK, INTC, PFE, ORCL, FNM, and IPG. I started sputtering, and told him that CSCO recently got a sell rating and PFE lost its patent suit about Viagra, and DNA has negative cash flow, and then starting thinking, what the hell do I know? Where will these stocks be 20 years from now?
So I shut up.
As for spouses, my opinion is that having a spouse who is crazy about you, no matter why, is a very good idea. |
