For Dale and JungleCat, Nice new link resource introduction Dale! For JungleCat I wanted to additionally add a few comments to Dale's. 1. We must not lose sight that not EVERYONE has the same trading styles. Some folks can afford more risk with PART of their monies and other CAN NOT! 2. We all have different sums of investment capital at any given point in our investment careers. Believe me when I tell you, even folks with some very large reserves don't risk all of their capital in aggressive plays. Perhaps, a portion here and there. But, not as the norm. 3. Novices tend to take much more risk with more of their money trying to "score the big one!" That crosses the line between careful speculation investing into plain gambling. This is usually the case because novices never take the time to build up their investing tool shed. A perfect example is the folks that were still long when the techs started to tank this past year. There was a gold mine to be made on the bear side using the right tools. Vigil once again was right on with his bear hunting call. A 40% ROI in an IRA or tax shelter is sweet indeed.
