Re: Good luck to you! You'll need it more than I. I've already made my millions... through long term investing over the years, not trading. You, being the "trader/gambler" need luck, not me. I analyzed companies prospects, made the investments, followed the story and stuck with the ones who continued to dominate in their field. The very fact that you think any college kid with a screwdriver and an HTML page can compete with Dell shows your ignorance. You obviously don't know the first thing about business or companies like DELL, CSCO, INTC, MSFT or how they've managed to build virtual monopolies in their respective fields. Re: "Take another look at your DELL. The PC market has changed, and you still dont 'get it'." I've studied Dell and the PC industry for the better part of a decade following every twist and turn. I 'get it' mister PC industry rookie... you never understood it to begin with. Re: if you are unable to adapt and/or take advantage of the new order, then by all means, enjoy your 20% per year. This also shows you haven't been in the market very long... never experienced a "real" bear market have you? How much money did you have at risk in the market in 1987? Since you proclaim to be such a genius, riddle me this batman: If you had a few million in your retirement account, what would your asset allocation be? Internet shorts/longs? Options? Tick by tick day trades? Surely you wouldn't put money in any of these big stable stodgy behemoths... that would be stupid wouldn't it? After all, how could anyone be happy with 20%/year on a few million? MEATHEAD
