The National Football Lottery . . . . was my earliest training in the "markets." I was much better in that market than in this tech-laden disaster market. Only a genius could have made money since March in this market. FYI, my one serious philosophy regarding "investing" in the National Football Lottery is that the vast majority of a person's "bets" should be on underdogs. They "cover" over half the time. Has anyone noticed that the language used on investment boards is of a gambling nature? The main word used demonstrating a strong parallel to gambling is "bet." Numerous people, at times, comment that if they wanted to gamble, they would go to Las Vegas. The fact is that "investing" in tech stocks, with the rampant volatility, is clearly gambling. This year, the "house" has definitely owned the cards. The "Naz" has declined over 40% since March. Welcome to the world's worst casino, the "Naz." /john
