Mr. Klimpl,

Funny you mentioned risk, I wrote the following but kept it since I thought it would be wasted in deaf ears, however, I am now encouraged.

**************************************************************************

Disclosure:

Be advised that this is a long message, and in addition, it is, shall we say, xxx rated, so if you get offended by such rating, then do not fucking continue reading it. Indeed, if you feel offended by such rating, then delete the whole damn thing, and in so doing, there will not be, "no harm done". "You have been warned"

To the "Risk Takers",

You have been a positive energy that have contributed long and patiently to the cause of certain young and nascent company, which now stands in the brink of an incredible possible growth experienced only by few. Nothing in this world is truly guaranteed, however, hard work, dedication, and vision will certainly tilt the odds in one's favor. Risk, and the ensuing reward is touted by many, however, it is understood by far less.

Those brave ones that not only "tout", or "understand" risk, but in addition, they actually take risk in their hands, become indeed an even smaller "number".

These few brave individuals should be proud of the rewards that so far have been harvested in investing in this small entrepreneurial company. Rest assured you owe explanations to no one. Particularly no explanation, no consideration, nor attention should be given to the band of retarded idiots, scavenging peasants, patronizing morons and pompous imbeciles that inhabit cyberspace. This message is given to the Risk Takers with the intent that they will expand their understanding of the risk taken.

It is expected that these risk takers should become less tolerant of the undue influence exercised by this band of misfits. These true demons, (as opposed to mystical ones), suck time, attention, and concentration away from the risk takers.

The risk takers are in essence productive individuals who have dedicated a great deal of valuable resources such as time, research, and indeed, money to a specific project. In their effort to succeed, many other valuable human elements are expended. The most common denominator in describing their activities is the search for value and of course, profit. Your profit will be well deserved without excuses, indeed greed is good!

As for the above mentioned demons, their most common denominator is the destruction of value. In short, we have two different characters that are directly opposed to one another. The risk takers seek and create value; the demons of idiocy simply destroy value.

It is imperative that the risk takers have no compassion for the idiots. The risk takers should learn to stop wasting their valuable time in responding to the mindless idiotic bladerbla that the demons spout out of their asshole. More importantly the Risk Takers should simply learn to ignore these shitheads.

In the same category of the demons are the stupid pseudo-defenders of the first amendment. These condescending morons misunderstand the concept of the value of valid "free speech", indeed they are willing to allow the infringement of a far more important principle, which is the protection of private property from the savages who use force.

It is unfortunate that these self-righteous pseudo-defenders of the first amendment have little understanding of property rights, (which includes intellectual property, i.e.: study and research in order to find and create value).
Indeed, they also lack understanding that attacking the character and standing of those involved, (directly or indirectly), represents a violent act. Particularly if we consider that the use of the Internet can indeed inflict considerable and irreparable damage upon the attacked.

More surprisingly, they are willing to defend (this type of), "free speech" in spite of the clear, undeniable personal attacks against the CEO of this small company.

This man is the prime representative not only of this company; in addition, he is one of the best examples of the philosophy that built this country. He is an innovator, a risk taker, and an entrepreneur. He has vision, leadership, and cutting-edge technology; above all, he has courage.

Juan Manuel Fangio once said, "You will never win if you are afraid to lose". For those who do not know, Mr. Fangio was 5 times Grand Prix World Champion, (during the 1950's when race cars where 100% brute force). A feat never accomplished by any other racer (to this date). It is safe to say that Mr. Fangio knew a thing or two about wining.

The CEO of this company has the same philosophy and thought process. The real question is: Do the investors of this company have the same philosophy?

The zeal of the "condescending morons" to defend the "right to speech", blinds them and confuses them to the point they can not distinguish the right to speech with the blatant act to mindlessly attack others via their brain diarrhea. These zealots pretend that these destroyers of value actually bring a "different point of view" that can further the "debate" about whatever bullshit they have brought up. The only thing the idiots can offer is the degradation of the forum where they postulate their bladerbla feces.

They can not differentiate between a real question and honest doubt and plain defamation, lack of diligence and clear stupidity, in spite of being exposed by many and in different instances.

These zealots propose to defend the freedom of speech at all cost, regardless if such "speech" is nothing else but blatant and violent attacks against individuals and property. Usually, (not always), these zealots are the same fanatics that cry "foul" when they can not impose upon others their "prayer in school" philosophy. They also insist to indoctrinate others, about bible writings, with the excuse that such writings are no more than "historical education". In the process, they announce that every non-believer of their gods is immoral and unethical.

It is feasible that this collection of idiots, peasants, morons and imbeciles, are merely using such "cloth" as cover for other intentions (i.e.: they want to lower the "entry point", or indeed they are short sellers).

It is advisable that the risk takers should be aware of the "short sellers", they are part of the "risk picture".

Although short selling exists, it is not widely accepted. The fanatics called this practice "un-American", whatever the term may mean, particularly in the brave new world of global investing; may be the new term for short sellers should be "un-Earthling". "Aliens" would be a better term, not the illegal kind, but the outer space type. At any rate, short selling does exist, and ignoring it, is at best, impressively stupid.

Short sellers do perform a positive function, primarily, they give liquidity to the market.

However, if the above description of the "cloth cover" is true, then these bastards are the worst garbage worms that ever crawled. They are liars and as such, they should be treated, no "ifs", "buts", nor "first amendments", they belong in the shit-gutter and should be treated likewise.

Reading about investments, can teach those who are willing to learn, many different disciplines that relate to human behavior

Of course, the way someone focuses his/her attention and priorities will be dependent upon if such individual is an investor, a trader, or a speculator. Each of these individuals has a unique and particular temperament that will perceive the different factors that can affect a profitable opportunity, quite differently, in fact, these views could feasibly vary radically, even possibly be opposed to each other.

Assuming, that the individuals in question, have made a conscious effort to learn about themselves first.

This is an important consideration. In order to succeed in the investing activity/game/profession, such candidates must have a thorough knowledge of their own internal feelings, emotions and be aware how they could react to particular stimulus. Knowing how to control such emotions is of critical importance, since suppressing them can be quite an unhealthy endeavor. However, not controlling such emotions will surely lead to disaster. The cemetery of would-be investors, traders, and speculators is filled with such weakly beings.

Surely, the term fear and greed has been mentioned before, it is certain to experience them (particularly when one's own money is "on the line"). The true art is in the control of fear and greed. Indeed in the control of many other emotions as well.

One could say that if successful, these individuals could possibly carry-through his/her vision of his/her philosophy towards their view of the entire world, accordingly. This is subject to debate, but it is highly probable that such, would be the case.

Certainly, the overall objective of taking money out of the cozy "safety" of a bank/savings account is to make more of it, since the demons of taxation and inflation alone could truly destroy it.

Once the "safety blanket" is taken away, then there are other evils to contend with. These new evils are far worse than the aforementioned demons. Examples? Amongst many, here are a few, such as cheaters, liars, frauds, and plain incapable morons. Usually, they go by different names, like: brokers, financial advisors, stock promoters, and common thieves. In fairness, there are some honest operators.

Nothing beats one's own research and diligent plain old work, of course this demands the unspeakable act of taking responsibility for one's actions. Moreover, if such is the case, then the above mentioned "evils" and morons are rendered irrelevant. This is an essential concept that few truly understand.

Soon, the individual that has taken such a "bold" step, (taking the money out of the savings account), will realize that he/she has to learn quickly about investing. Money does not last long if it is not made productive.

Motivation:

To succeed, our heroes/heroines must be prepared to battle, it has been said that the markets are the best example of fair, swift and simple justice. They will reward those who are prepared and they will punish those who are not. Repeating, it is fair, swift and simple justice.

What does "prepared" mean? (in the investment battlefield)

As it was mentioned in the beginning, the investor, the trader and the speculator have three different philosophies that will approach the markets from different perspectives. While it is true, that one individual may take two, even all three different approaches. The harsh reality is that each individual, depending on the abilities he/she possesses, will be best suited to adopt one of these philosophies, in order to maximize performance.

To illustrate the ideal of each one of the above philosophies would take a large volume of words and indeed a long time in order to accomplish a good job in describing each one of these philosophies. Said volume and time is not available at this time, besides it is not the objective of this message.

Basic, (common denominators), characteristics must be learned and practiced in order to succeed regardless of which philosophy one ends up embracing.

These common denominators, among others, are in summary form as follows:

Control of emotions. Not suppression of emotions, but merely control. it is indeed an art.
Appreciation for facts and knowledge. No time for lying, or poor research.
Honesty, (that includes with oneself). No sense in fooling oneself, and being aware of true frauds.
Work ethics. Do your own research, do the math, establish a system and exercise discipline.
Ability to make and execute decisions. Determine when the research is done and it is time to act.
Quickness of mind and action. Once research is done, no time for self-doubt, and procrastination.
Humility. Errors are made, recognize them quickly and act to correct them promptly and without hesitation.

As you can see, the above qualities/abilities not necessarily apply only to the successful ones who work in and with the markets. In essence, these elements makes the difference, amongst many other things, between a quality human being with true sense of direction and objectivity, and merely an idiot who travels through life without a real purpose, bouncing aimlessly from one direction to the next.

Answer: Being prepared means, in addition to other specific detailed requirements of math, research, and the art of execution of a specific plan, an honest knowledge of ourselves, and being aware of everything that will affect our investment performance. Because every little detail that subtracts from our concentration and absolute focus of our objectives, diminishes in the end, our performance.

If you doubt the idea that the markets are true battlefields, think of this: Have you ever considered the thought that every time you made a dollar, this dollar once belonged to another participant in the markets. Likewise, every time you lost a dollar, this dollar now belongs to some other participant of the markets. In the business world, and without the thought of gaining something in return, would you give away a dollar to a perfect stranger? Doubtful. unless of course, you think in terms of charity and compassion.

As for charity and compassion. well, if you make a business decision based in charity and compassion then there is a different problem that frankly; it does not belong in this message.

In short, being prepared, (in the investment world), means someone who is well directed and solidly motivated with specific and clear objectives, as opposed to the intellectual peasant who has to depend on others to find a specific purpose for his/her aimless life.

The Guilt/Fear Factor.

It has been said that religions and/or mystical cults gave humans the initial sense of morals which in turn, each particular human activity developed its own standards of ethics. As humans became more knowledgeable, the need to rely upon religion and mystical gods and demons became less important. As the rulers, who established the initial moral principles, used gods as promoters of "good", and indeed used "demons" and "evil spirits" as warnings of the consequences for bad/criminal behavior.

Good investment decisions are made based on considerations of calculated risk taken, return expected, known facts yielded by research, etc. The degree of risk, return etc. will vary depending on the standards and systems of those making the decisions.

Investment decisions, (at least the good ones), are never left to chance, certainly not based on senseless imploration to the faith in gods, nor fear of demons. Saying so, does not mean that it does not happen, but as it was stated earlier, the markets expend fair, swift and simple justice, performance is the real standard of measure, everything else is "noise".

Science and technology have answered many of the former "mysteries" of life; example the "McCaughey septuplets" is a good case in point. It has been said that in that particular case, the score was a resounding Science 7 -Vs- god 0. To expand on this issue (if you so desire), got to: reasonworks.com and then go to news of December 14, 1997. The so-called "mysteries of life" will continue to be resolved as human science and technology discover new ways to cure diseases and find characteristics in our genes that will affect our very own structure of life, etc. etc. This of course is another interesting subject on its own right

Likewise, the former gods of the investment world (the brokers) are slowly falling by the side; the Internet has made possible commissions as low as $8.00 per trade.

The Internet has also made available to the ordinary individual the possibility of easier and instantaneous information and research and has somehow "evened-out" the competition field against the institutions and the brokers.

But be aware, because there are no safety nets here, the Internet is merely a tool, and one must learn how to use it in order to successfully become productive, it possesses its own real "demons"

Soon it is expected that the markets will become truly free and open, the technology already exists, however, it simply has not been implemented yet, partly because it is required that the participants become more educated.

Once this education takes place, there is no reason that brokers, middle men etc. will either reduced substantially or even disappear all together, at least the way they presently operate. Participants will trade amongst each other. See Wit Capital Corporation: witcapital.com

It may take some time, but it will be developed.

As individuals, we must learn the new technologies, get rid of our fears instilled in us by our educational system and social environment. However, it is strictly up to us. We must learn the new technologies and we also must learn to identify the demons and evil beings that inhabit the world of cyberspace.

We must master how to identify the true value of the information source or the evil within the same, above all we must value our time and focus in our own objectives.

Nothing will defeat reason and objectivity. These are our sword and shield against the idiots, peasants, and imbeciles. They pretend to know what is good for us, they are here to warn us and scare us because what we are about to do, we are doing it without our own best interest in mind. There are also the leaches that will attempt to gain from the work of productive individuals and make it look as if such work is their own. These are the real demons, not the mystical types.

Their minds are rotten by their own inability to be productive; the continuous lie in which they live stops them from seeing the pathetic existence they lead. Their leach-like behavior is like an addiction that not only blinds their brain to facts but in addition, it denies them of basic human dignity, of which the are incapable of experiencing.

We must indeed act swiftly once we identify the evils of the Internet; we must act, based on a system that we can trust. We must implement and execute a plan that will shield us from distractions, that as stated earlier, takes away from our concentration, in turn, our performance.

Guilt to defend true and honest ethics should not exist; indeed, one must be assertive and stick with the stated objectives. If the research has been executed properly, the risk understood and the objectives well established, then, distractions should be set aside.

The fear should belong to the destroyer of value, since eventually he/she will be discovered for the utter crap that he/she really is.

It is true that the concept of dignity is unknown to the idiot, but the fear of being ignored will be far stronger than the lack of any ethical value. Their ego will be destroyed by the simple act of ignoring their mindless and idiotic existence. Regardless of his/her particular strategy, be this the moronic "gentlemanly" manner, in the end this is merely a fa‡ade hiding their lack of true intellect? Who cares how gently the idiot presents himself, if in the end, (and by his own admission), there is no specific objective to his participation in the debate. In the end, he is nothing more than a time sucking moron.

Revenge? There is no time consideration for such stupid reasoning, he can stick a dildo up his ass. Who cares? Stay focused and answer this question: are you here to make money or to argue mindlessly with a peasant that has the mind full of vomit?

As for the wild, aggressive and post menstrual depressed female, who on top of her low general level of education, she can not write intelligently, let alone spell her own language. Well, there are clearly deeper problems here, since how is it possible that a debate could be established. It is my understanding that one of the basic requirements for productive and intelligent debate is the need of communication. Clearly, this basic requirement is out of the question, and so it goes. Another exercise in time wasting which no true risk taker should allow himself/herself to participate. Time = Money.

Finally, how is it possible that we can establish a debate with someone who by his own admission is a fucking thief, who continues to apologize, but also continues to disregard basic principles of decency. Why must one allow this idiot to detract the valuable and scarce time and concentration from the task at hand? The task at hand is the research about the industry that it is about to truly change the way business is done. The task at hand is to maintain focused in what is at stake. The task at hand is to make money.

For the risk taker, this could represent a small/large speculative play, a short-term trade, or the investment of valuable time and money. In all instances time and effort can not be wasted. The risk taker becomes guilty of the same deed (waste of time and effort), if the idiot is engaged in an exchange of non-productive bullshit. This is also popularly known as a "pissing match". No one wins, regardless of who, in the end pissed on the other in a larger way, both participants have to take a bath in order to come clean. Nothing, absolutely nothing is gained.

The best remedy short and long term is to ignore the idiots, peasants, and sundry imbeciles

Conclusion and Proposed Plan.

By now, it is hoped that that the solution is clear, the best response to the idiotic demons is to ignore them. At best, eventually they go away, or at worst they will be "chatting" with a silent wall, much like jerking off. with gloves.

Eventually they will "rub themselves raw" and stop in pain.

The risk takers must defend their intellectual property as well as their investment; these idiotic demons are a distraction to your concentration and your focus. There is no difference whatsoever between this type of attacks and a violent armed robbery, both are criminal and deliberate deeds. They deserve no less than the appropriate criminal prosecution.

The defense of these acts under the shadow of the first amendment is also wrong, as it was explained earlier.
You can not allow the attack and destruction of intellectual property, this is private property, by any means, particularly through the Internet in the manner that it has been done.

This is the same thing as allowing little Johnnie to take someone else's tricycle by force, because otherwise, little Johnnie could suffer from some kind of "frustration". If we allow this, without any act of discipline, Johnnie may grow up to be a criminal.

It occurs to me that the "demonic trio" must be some kind of family living in incest. I can not fathom the tragedy that would be if there were actually three different beings from different environments and unrelated to one another. These individuals actually have a keen sense of inner rot. If they were unrelated, then this would lead me to believe that the human race is truly coming apart at the seams. I prefer to think humans have not yet been devalued to these low levels.

My optimistic nature forces me to think that these elements can only be the product of incest. A moronic zombie who fornicates his sister as he himself is tired to masturbate himself raw, given the fact that his latest girlfriend ran away with the local bordello janitor. In frustration he has no choice but to find relief in his butt-ugly sister, who herself has her own story to tell. As one can deduct from the written evidence, the sister has an IQ no higher than the local prostitute who has been at it for 50 years (started at 18).

She has considered joining the oldest profession of the world, however she hesitates as she does with everything she does in life, so when the advances by her brother took place, she did not protest much as she herself found certain solace in the act.

Soon however she became bored, which in turn has made her violent, not to mention the fact that as a result of this demonic passion, a first born was engendered, and so we find that the third character has no values to look up to and so aimlessly and without purpose he tries to create what he never even learned in the first place.

As time goes on, they find the Internet. Behind the computer keyboard they finally find an anonymous true friend. Whom at the same time they love, (the bulletin boards), they also do not know how to focus their energy and so the only thing they do is attack whoever, or whatever serves them as target. Soon they find the victim who they cling to and find the attention they never had before, and so incredibly as it may sound, they find encouragement in the response they receive from the innocent and unsuspected.

And so it goes.

At this time, I should close with the proposed plan which it has been already stated:

Ignoring them by all members will diminish the attention given to these strange creatures, who although it has been said before, they will disappear on their own, lacking badly needed attention.

That will require discipline by the members, if not, they will be as guilty of the deed as the three idiots, because they in turn will feed the idiots who then they will continue to waist more time away from others who have been more disciplined than their weaker type ones.

And so this is the end.

*****************************************************

I hope you enjoyed it, if not, oh well, I meant well. Then again, who cares?
