but some of those who lurk here are not,,,and they do some crazy things like selling naked calls,

Well, we hope that if they hang around with us, and READ THE BOOK! they won't do those things. If they don't, what we talk about here is gibberish to them.

What we advocate is really a safe, conservative approach, but it does not look like it to newbys. The first thing they do. once they understand this approach, is get rid of the 26 stocks that they are "diversified" in, and concentrate on winners.

MKC, It's always good to see contrary views on this thread, and your points are well taken. In the end each of us must make our own decisions and find a risk level we are comfortable with.

Two points:

1. It is an old line but here goes - LindyBill IS crazy - like a fox.

2. Did you know your punctuation keys are stuck? (Gotta stay from that TokyoJoe crowd.) <g>

MKC,

While I believe the intention of your post to LindyBill was to urge caution, may I suggest that coming onto a mature thread, without having read the book, and calling his investment strategy "crazy", may not be a prudent strategy here. You have been welcomed with respect and kindness by the thread elders. Please treat them with the same respect.
