Mr. D., this is what I posted the other day that you asked me to repost. You told me you agreed with everything except one item that I changed, so I guess you agree with it all now :-)
For everyone's benefit, especially the newbies:
1. Rocketeers are not organized, we are not a formal group. Since we are not organized, I precede the following by "I" rather than "We." Other "rocketeers" may or may not agree:
2. I am an amateur, not a professional investor
3. I manage no one's money but my own, and have no desire to do so
4. I give no investment advice, everyone has to decide for themselves
5. I look for good companies with solid fundamentals, buy and hold
6. I don't sell into MM games
7. I am willing to absorb short term paper losses
8. I am willing to wait for long term real gains
9. I do DD and share it freely, take it for what it's worth
10. I am not into this for day trading, momentum, or news
11. I do not endorse any particular newsletter
12. I have no email list and no newsletter
13. I receive nothing from any company I invest in, nor do I want to
14. I am not an insider, and have no desire to run a company
15. I think the nasdaq MM system is archaic at best, illegal at worst
16. I don't think MMs can keep a good solid company down, revenues will not be denied
17. I do not act on rumors, and will not spread them
18. Please don't ask me in PMs for any investment advice, I will not give it, nor am I qualified to do so
19. I believe the fundamentals of ICVI, INFE, and DGIV are today stronger than ever
20. I reserve the right to buy, sell, or do what I want with my own money whenever I wish, although I have not sold a single share of ICVI
or the others
21. If fundamentals change for the better or for the worse, I will say that as my opinion and my opinion only, do you own DD
22. I have no desire to lead or perpetuate "rocketeering," if this becomes a movement, let it stand on its own
23. I have a day job and a real life, and need to catch up on both, so may not be posting as much
24. I have made many friends on this board and am grateful
25. What I have seen here, positive and negative, reafirms my conviction that people are basically good, and do believe in truth, honesty, and openness
