Hi KastelCo, <<but I trust you also learn from your own mistakes and the victories of those with whom you disagree>> IGNORE function was used at least three times:) And on your Message 15557545 <<Methinks he sold as 'stealthily' as possible bearing the encumbrance of SEC reporting, once he realized the situation, well ahead of mom & pop>> I think LE thought he could make more, beat Bill in NAV, by holding on so as to not alarm the masses, wait for a higher price. As the momo left the train, he than did what you noted ... "stealthily" is right. If it were not for the SEC rules, we can all imagine what would have happened instead. The judgement will come later, during televised Congressional witch hearings. Chugs, Jay

Depends on how they make those victories. There are just some types of trading and investing that I don't engage in. Short selling, LEAPs, for example, I understand but don't manage well. I don't do gold, silver or other metals, because I believe them to be antiquated (maybe I'll change my mind on that someday, but not now) and unreliable. I like real estate, mainly because it is a family thing and I understand it very well and can manage it effectively. I don't DISPARAGE anyone's methods of making money. But I don't like having my methods disparaged. Everyone can make money, and everyone has a pretty good idea of what they are looking for when they try to do it. Even so, I don't engage in certain types of investing (some previously mentioned) that I consider too risky or unmanageable. Go ahead and do it is what I say to others....it's no skin off my teeth...assuming our goals aren't clashing.
