Hey augie, it's those bouncy POS's (as you refer to them) that the lurkers get blindly stuck in when they blow up in their face...GNSS, OAKT, RDRT...need I go on? But the fact that you can't discern cheap from inexpensive will likely destine you to the 'washout' daytrader camp, lest you change your ways.

Geez, I guess I hit a nerve, eh? I wasn't "bragging" about having bought high and sold low. I was merely being honest about the fact that I lost more than $150,000 "investing" (LTBH) based on fundamental analysis. In the year since I stopped caring how wonderful a company is and starting learning about how the price of a STOCK moves, I've recouped nearly $40,000 of that loss, despite starting with only $50,000 to work with. I obviously don't have your genius for financial analysis, but I think that's called an 80% rate of return. It was Al Gore that was advocating investing the social security fund into the stock market. I suppose if I asked enough times, you'd eventually tell me what the HE!! that has to do with ANYTHING, but don't bother. Sheesh man, you've shown your true colors, and you fit right along with the crooks you denounce. Huh? I have limited patience for condescension, therefore I'm a crook?

Umm, excuse me, but almost all Democrats (except Daniel Moynihan and a couple of others) are opposed to putting Social Security money into the stock market. It is Bush and the Republicans who want to allow us all the wonderful opportunity of putting our most basic retirement funds intended to make sure that all senior citizens have at least some money into the stock market.
