<<Investors should know how to digest information - (period)

This is very true! However, many of us are constantly learning and and a lot of
people still regard their computers as toys. This powerful instrument is now coming
of age through connectivity and thus the power of knowledge is now at our finger
tips and our tongues.

The ignorant are truly becoming enlightened. One caution I have learned is to watch
what you repeat online. If you heard a rumor, make sure you know the facts!
whether indeed a rumor, opinion, conjecture or a fact make sure you know the
source and quote it as that. It is truly amazing how fast such things will travel, and
rumors definitely grow, so they had better be grounded in fact!>>

the term "Investor" is to commit investment to gain financial return and better know what it takes - rewards and risks; if not it's not an investor.

as for "rumor", by definition it's not being authenticated (that's why it's a rumor anyway); since the beginning of time they always do travel at that rate-

Jeff,

Just a thought! The source of many rumors whish to remain unknown. That makes it difficult to prove a rumor (which is not a fact) to be based on fact. So what is my point?<G>
