Low risk means low reward...why do think think the nasdaq stks are so loved-hated. Is it really about investing are riding the money train...these days. I was lucky enuf to experience the dell dream so it's all a gift anyway. Most folks depend on their day jobs for security and the mkt is that ole saying...it'll come back. You and I both know what that kinda thinking can to with stock investments but the mkt always comes back<but not all stks>...then comes the realtime streaming quotes...daytraders...glamor and then if you know-learn when to get in and out which is getting to be a house hold rule...then theres the S_I's..There are actually people like you who may know a little-lot more than the avg family..That gives you the edge and then following the momo's ..charts..ta.cheating ass brokers.I hv never had the makings to be a short and then this past yr came.Lots of bears were like a few you know..they began to pray for the world to fall apart so the mkt would go down...It became more than just being a bear. It bothers me to see people gloat on sadness..layoffs..war..pain..that little set of grandparents who didn't know how to get out of the way. When I was a little fellow in grade school there was a big kid who use to beat me up once a week and bully me every time he saw me. I grew up..went to the marines..viet nam...came home and one nite I ran into him in a bar...I got my turn ...I kicked his ass that nite so bad that it made up for every time he ever bullied me and from that moment on...I hate bullies and stood up to them. That's why I despise Luc so much. He is a bully..You've been around a while and know that it's only the last yr that I've became so angry. In my life here in the real world..I am a hell of a nice guy and almost everyone who knows me..loves me. It's funny how things we went thru as children create behaviors that follow us a lifetime. There hv been many times that I tried to take the first step toward being civil with Luc ..only to be disrespected and bullied for being weak. Some folks mistake kindness as a weakness.I know I need to ignore him and not let it bother me when he shames me or others but I am not there yet..It makes me feel better to react with something he's familiar with..which is come on with bud.Even Grill Sargent tried to bully me today and threaten to slap me<over the internet>gg>.I reacted and gave it back to him..he went on when he saw I wouldn't take it..actually I kicked his butt<gg< cyber boxing.What a deal=eh...you take care.
