Mike M - Ok your richer, than the rest of us on the thread! The rest of the financial community likes to refer to wealth as "being comfortable", in case your interested. Example; "We have been very lucky and have enjoyed some comforts in life" Not "I am gonna bet that I have made a lot more money than you in this market"! See the difference Mike? One sounds appropriate while the other sounds like new rich (Trailer Trash).
Has your ego always been this weak?
I bet there are people who are more comfortable the you or I, here on SI! One of them over on the Dell thread had a backyard BBQ televised by CNN where Michael Dell showed up. I believe the host of the BBQ had said that his son, age 17, had just purchased a Lincoln Continental Mark 7, 8 or something, with his Dell shares. Now that kid is probably more "comfortable" than your or I. I didn't see CNN showing up at your house Mike!?
It's OK to have money Mike, just have a little class about it. While I can appreciate your superior savvy through 30 years of experience in the market. I have difficulty believing your owning success to picks like MVSI (HI 7, LO 1 ¾) and GUMM (HI 14, LO 6 5/8). Mike please tell me you shorted those Dogs, so that I can maintain the idea that I'm dealing with a narcissistic old man, instead of an idiot.
Somehow you have taken offense by my being pro-AMZN! Hmmmm, the only way that might occur is if your short in the stock. Are ya short pal!? I hope so, cause your gonna get your clock cleaned! And you might be right about being more comfortable than me, I give a lot away (donations, sending two girls to college who aren't mine) and I sail. The latter being somewhat like standing in a cold shower in your clothes while lighting 100 dollar bills one after another.
Cheers
