Flack, Zen, and Mfn Morals--Right and Wrong according to God. Ethics---Right and Wrong according to man. Observation--That which is ethical may not be moral, and vice versa. -------------------------- Ok, I am reading all that you guys are saying, and I am more and more convinced that we live on two different planets. Flack has to check his morals at the door to play this game. I would say that if you can't mix your morals with the market, there is something wrong with the market. Zen doesn't have any morals to start with, so what does he care one way or the other? :>) Mfn is tiptoeing through the tulips pretending that the creation of new wealth is a pipe dream, that everything is about the redistribution of old wealth. Well, that wealth had to get created sometime, and somehow. I agree that the market does not create new wealth, but companies do. They create new wealth by building widgits and services that other folks need and want and are willing to pay for. If that company develops the ability to create those widgits because you and I invested in it, then WE had a hand in the creation of that new wealth. Any "game" that requires a loser for each winner is not an investment, it is a Las Vegas style wager, no more and no less. If you guys want to tell your grandchildren that you made yours being a riverboat gambler, then that's your business, but no more of that for me. If I decide that you have defined this stock market process correctly, I am out of here, and I hope the Lord will forgive me. Best, p40warhawk
