<<All jmo, and I've been wrong many, many times.>> In my experience, investors who admit this have more cred and don't ever get seduced by the Florida "to the moon" types in their boom/bust cycle and bankruptcies. Its probabilities, and reducing risk and achieving a return that beats index ETFs ROI over a longer timeframe. And it's a little more challenging and fun; like a great chess game vs. uncertainty (not roulette, or even poker.) There are some criminal, unethical and dark equity market "house" fixes we have to discount for. And funny business of accounting, management and revolving-door corporate boards. The civility and honesty in this forum differentiate it. I am grateful.
