Hi John: I would sure like to discuss your ideas, your observations that the market is the greatest lottery ever invented, and run by super-duper salesmen. But is the public ready for it? We could at least say it has better returns than Lotteries and the possibility of winning is better than a trip to Vegas. But not much better What makes it a gentlemen game, is that you cant play it with coins or dollar bills, you need a minimum of $2000 anti.Along with your family history... I had an Uncle once, who lost it all in 1929. Never bought another stock, wisely it turned out. But nobody listened to him, mostly because nobody had any money in 1933. Now everyone in the US should be able to find an uncle in the family who lost everything in the great crash of 2000. But nobody is going to listen to them either. (g) We can go throught the cons, one after another,like... 1.Like dividends paid consistently for 100 years- so who cares what the stock price is ? Just buy and hold, a sure winner until the next crash or the company vanishes. When you lose all your capital and the re-invested dividends. finance.yahoo.com I'm going to take break here, as the rangers are playing the greatest ballclub on earh and Ramirez is batting.. Sig

Hi John, its me again. This article represents part of my feelings for investments. tempoitaliano.net Here was the situation at Lucent and T in Feb 2001. If we think employees and investors were unhappy then, consider what its like today.... A $200,000 investment in LU is now worth $24,300 A $120,000 investment in T is now worth $19,000 And those original dollars were what was left after this happened before Feb 2001.... <<<What's more, workers ? past and present ? have seen their retirement dreams crash along with their companies' stocks. AT&T and Lucent , two of the most widely held U.S. stocks, have lost enough market value in less than a year to wipe out Coca-Cola's $142.4 billion market value nearly 21/2 times over.>>> Those who were planning to retire on millions in stock savings cannot even afford to buy a good car. And also makes Dell look like shining star... Sig
