"RE: If I had this money today, would I invest it in this stock?.....Just because you thought the stock was a good investment 1 year ago, Doesn't mean it still is

Very well thought out post. I hate to admit that I have more than one stock that the answer would be NO. I am still for the moment using a more traditional broker, (Hey, He got me into the Q, so he knows something) But with the info I am learning from this thread (and Q threads) and my own due diligence, I am doing a reevaluation and some changes will be made!!!!!


Sometimes the market's wrong and you just have to hunker down and live w/losses (my Q! position was underwater for the first 13 months I owned it. I kept buying. Now my GBLX and MFNX positions are 60 fathoms down... and I'm not selling). If the company is doing well the stock will come back. If the company does poorly, sell. My only advice: don't have too many stocks underwater at the same time.

Joel, my fellow red neck <g>, I truly believe that adopting that philosophy will make your net worth grow much faster. The reason that I believe it is that I can plot my net worth on Quicken and see how much faster it has grown since I started learning these lessons.

One beauty of the whole thing is that the Gorrilla Game investment style melds so well with that philosophy.

BTW, your broker is smarter than most, recommending Q. But why do you need a broker?
