Just checked in for the first time in a week looking for news and stuff about INTEL. You remember Intel, the reason this thread exists. NOT A SINGLE POST about Intel. With the exception of some personal stuff (hope all is well with Amy) which is worthwhile, no one seems to want to talk about Intel. Where does one go to get info and conversation about Intel nowadays? Burt

Diversification is for wimps!It is the very first word the firms teach brokers-fees are IN -- while commmissions have been puked for decades and by firm design (that's a pun)-now that the crooks/BD's/mutual fund companies and large banks- have all the money swept into their corner they are wondering where the small investor went-how utterly stupid when they designed the business plan that destroyed the game! -- --they keep on pocketing gazillions of fees for less than mediocre performance and all from uninformed investors who have been led to believe they can be there own broker-"the ego trip of all ego trips!"Destroying brokers they have destroyed the business!Sell your funds and take control-NOW!Buy no more than three stocks-watch them closely and have the courage to buy fear!If you don't like this plan go do something else but get the hell out of risking your money in a fixed game!

Jim, re: "I believe the mantra on the financial planners/mutual fund companies was "buy and hold", "you can't time the market", it "goes up on average 9% a year"...etc. Oh yes, I forgot about "diversification". That didn't work either, unless you loaded up on real estate and gold stocks (what graduate financial planner recommended gold stocks, hint: not to many)." You seem to be expanding your rant from financial planners to "mutual fund companies", to try to prove some point. If you were invested in 40% bonds, 10% real estate and 40% stocks, since the prick of the "bubble", you probably did ~ OK. The FP's were probably even more conservative in their recommendations. And a lot of folks that bet on bonds managed to make a ton of money over the last couple of years. Not me, obviously not you. Happy New Year, let's hope the (equity) trend is our friend in 2003. John
