Ggamer, Reread your posts. Especially the ones to Sweet Dealer not to mention the ones directed to Voltaire.

These people have done nothing but help people. They accept total strangers and try to help them through this maze of confusion.

Then you come here and criticize them and poke fun at them.

That is why we don't care much for your kind.
Who have you helped?
answer: no one. It's not in you to do such things.
I pitty you because you can't even see that you are here to hurt others.

My vote: 1

But I'm willing to change my vote if you apologize to Dealer for your rudeness. It is totally uncalled for!

Look. Stay. Go. It matters not. Voltaire has better things to do than massage your ego. It matters not to me if you post or if you lurk. Voltaire is about to take a well deserved shower right now!! Pass the soap, babe. See the porch later!!!! Heheheheh!!! LOL

Hi, ggamer. I don't say much here...
...because I really am a novice at investing, other than LTBH which I only learned at hands (COSTLY hands) of full-service brokers.

I haven't fared too badly, really, especially after I got up the guts to take over my own investing (I was able to do that only, though, by cutting back on my "work for a living" necessity last August) ...

Tell me: What is your "better idea?"

What are you doing that we should be doing, perhaps, in this economy/stock market environment?

I'm not really being facetious posing this Q to you.

Thanks to all on board for all posts...I'm considering joining if okay you folks partying in Havana in August ... if I have the money! (If I want to SPEND it, should say. Too much "Millionaire Next Door" (book) training in me, fer sure)

I have to say (LOL) ... I STILL tie daily, direct expenses to performance of my portfolios ... old habits die HARD ... i.e. on days/weeks like this, I hesitate to spend thirty bucks at the store ... in case I "end up" broke and bankrupt!

On top of everything else, this sort of psychology sux, I think ... can't give it ("worst case scenario" thinking) up, though ... not yet ...

hahahahahahahahaahahahaha

Hi ggamer,

I want everyone that has visited the porch to feel they are welcome. Do I want you to leave? No.

Let's all try to get along in some trying times. We are all in this together and together we will get through it. I appreciate the way my friends come to my and the Porch's defense but personally I am never bothered by a contrary opinion, I do have a little trouble with FEAR MONGERS and I do not consider you one.

If civil, I love having different personalities on the Porch. It has become exactly as I had wished. A hell of a lot bigger than I thought but a great place.

ggamer,

I just read your post as well as all the responses, including Voltaire's, whose opinion means a great deal to me. This is a coffee shop thread in cyberspace, not a family reunion. It's open to everyone, or should be. I believe that Voltaire would like people to express their opinions, dissenting opinions, criticism, etc, freely and without rancor. I hope you have the courage to stay. Your insights and concerns matter to me.
