Taurus; To be honest on equities I'm more a trader than an investor, and I don't kid myself about taht..this has mostly taken the place of my driving 60 miles to the dog track. <G> I do become an investor if a stock turns against me <G> often I double down..even triple down at times..I do have a good track record. My one short coming is I often tend to sell to fast, but I very seldom get burned, as I do look a thing over fairly good before I go in. The way I look at stocks is much like a handicapper and not as conventional as most I've found on SI. I doubt I hang in on Day or any gold stock for any big pay off. I'm not enough of a gold bug for that. Most of my money stays in Bonds, or local real estate that I can size up for myself. If I were a bit younger I would get into the bottled water business, right here where I live there is a good market , as all the local water went to surface water that is YUK ! But we have very good water strata from 200 to 400 ft..and I can filter that to were it's like spring fresh. I'm still rolling the idea around in my head, I have the land were they can't restrict me from drilling , as they have most of the county. But getting the health permits and such may be a hassel as the powers that be down here are a bunch of power hungry demagogues who work every angle they can think of. The job wouldn't be so much but fighting the local buracrates might be more than I want to take on at my age. Jim Big money in water and garbage..( more than gold ) but most of it's controled by racketeers. Jim
