lof...with all due respect... please read my posts on this subject. i subscribe to all aspects of investment...from various options strategies to ltbh of common...been doing it for thirty years with a modicum of success. i don't brag about "new found wealth", as "wealth" is relative, what is awesome to some, is a mere pittance to others. scour my posts on any thread, never will you find where i discounted any strategy, and posted my beliefs as gospel, as my beliefs/investments encompass stocks, bonds, options, real estate development,venture capital,business ownership,et al.........i don't work for anyone, i'm not retired, stock market a minor aspect, i'm an entrepeneur... only comments i've made ad infinitum is on timing of position entry, applicable to any "investment". the lower you buy, the more probability of profit. this is what "pal" is trying to simply state....i see no disagreement by pal or myself on what you . taxman, or the morman tabernacle choir does with your portfolios....the important point, as pal aptly posted is to consider the "newbies", easier to see what's ahead with a full range of vision. one tends to bump into objects and get hurt if their vantage point is narrow easier to "teach" by not being critical...encourage anyone who has mastered "success", to freely share with "others", and allow in the "sharing", the thoughts of the "others" to come into play, and determine their strength and weakness. the "only way" theory of "anything" precludes this, and can lead to failure of the "other" who is not comfortable with this "way" life is a smorgasbord, why just limit yourself to the salad station....lot of "meat" a little bit further down the line....and if you find that which is on your plate unsatisfactory, don't go back for seconds...leave it for those who have different "tastes" then you...but restrain from being critical because you don't understand anothers gustatory delight!
