"Quit it with the risk speeches on stocks you haven't studied" I never suggested that I have studied the companies in which you invest -- what I have done is question why you invest in them without seeming to be interested in knowing the investment risks or even what questions to ask to determine the source and degree of risk. You seem to say "there is risk and my style is to handle it by ignoring it". You seem to drool over the potential rewards (which typically seem highly inflated in your statements), but do not know the odds of there being any rewards. The same phenomenon keeps old ladies at the slot machines in Vegas -- never mind the odds, just look at the jackpot and plug in another dollar.
