I suppose if you can tell me where the line is drawn between investing and speculating, i could tell you whether i agree or disagree. unfortunately the way things are going these days it seems like most investments are turning into speculations. Is AIG or LEH an investment or a speculation? a year ago Im sure you would have told me they were investments.

Suffering with a full position in ALD, I'll now add a few shares of its debt note, [t]AFC[/t].

If AFC will not drop much further, and if ALD business could just continue on, I should be able to be satisfied with no capital gain, just the yield on my purchase price, about $1.72/11.
