Anybody who bets their last cent on something and loses it deserves the lesson...I remember a guy on the BRE.X thread who bet the farm on it... He was up a fortune at one point, and lost everything. ( Of course this was inherited money) Most people are not playing this crazy market. They can't afford to play... The players have to have some dough. Most people are still living paycheque to paycheque.

Yeah, It's a game, and all the players are trying to extract your dough.
Did the guy who bought a quarter of a million $'s worth of AAPL feel sorry for the guy he bought it off of? I doubt it...

<<I guess that is where a solid personal constitution and grasp of the reality of "just what the F*** you are doing with all that money">>

Of course, you are correct, and that is the uniting principle of this thread as well as ACMBD before it.

A "grasp of the reality of 'Just what the F*** you are doing with all that money'" has been lost by most "investors" ever since algore invented the internet...<g>
