Your response is great. I have only been investing (trading, actually) since last Feb., and I am honest about my opinions. I don't say things to try to make them happen (not consciously, anyway). I really like controlling my own "gambles". Bullshit about not minding waiting even 4 months for a bad trade to become good.
I think investing for the long term is great in great companies, but lets be real. Many companies in the tech sector are run up and driven down to ridiculous levels in ridiculously short periods of time--the small investor ought take advantage of that volatility as well as the "big-boys".
As a business, or a living, this "game" makes no material contribution to society. We are merely smart pseudo-intellectuals who want to make it rich quick enough to quit this shit while we are still young enough to enjoy a QUALITY life of galavanting around and doing whatever the hell we want with whoever the hell we want, and have FUN each and every day!
OR do we lose our money to THEM, quit too early, work for THE MAN, and 5, 10, or 15 years from now retire with our 401 k's being needed by us in the MIDDLE OF A BEAR MARKET!! Just some crazed rantings of a "wallstreet junkie" GOOD LUCK.I KNOW I NEED IT! marie |
