The world certainly is an amazing place. And everyone has to be comfortable with how they invest. And playing tax loss selling is a valid strategy I'm trying to employ myself.

Regarding risk, however, looking at how stocks like NPK, ORT, the coal stocks, the PM stocks, etc have performed in the last three years vs the carefully chosen growth stocks in the "Kitchen" one would have to ask which really was the most risky ("carefully chosen" being the operative words).

FWIW I'm in my early 70's and fully retired so I too am very concerned about risk. That's why I lurked on the Kitchen board for six months before doing anything.

In any case, I will use my open mind to take another look at NPK since I am getting the message you think it has a brighter future going forward. I always did like NPK more than an ORT, for example, as it's based on a valid resource in the ground and not a technology that may never work. And playing NPK last December and again in February was obviously nicely profitable for anyone like you who had the foresight.

Again, I wish you all the best in 2015!

Cheers.
