Folks, don't you get bored posting to me!? I am home sick today, as I was yesterday, but I will soon go back to work. What are you going to do then? Get off the habit when you can. Withdrawal is often painful.

No one picks stocks in an index fund, it is done based on a mathematical formula with respect to market weights Where do you find such profound insights and nuggets of knowledge that the rest of the world seems to miss ?
