Being wise? I think not...and desperate, Alas It is gone! A poor move for a poor investor. Such a shame, at least I realize that was against a rather good investment principle. "don't get use to living off your investment income". I lost my chance to grow it. ....i'm sorry Wiseowl..... i'll try to behave now. :-) But ..... I guess what I'm trying to get at is the emotion factor "greed", "elation". It is generally fine when the fundamentals behind a stock are true, or real. Dangerous when they are vague or outright lies. Investors and the market are a great aid to a publicly held company, both providing usefulness for a good economy. Today's market is being fed by constantly more money, largely by the baby boomers in preparation for retirement. This excess is a bumper crop of easier $$ for the scammers, so they are attracted here in relatively increasing numbers. The flow of money in their direction serves no purpose but theirs and some rather fortunate investors benefiting by chance. On the average I sense a consistent loss among investors. These are honest and earnest people I am referring to. Realizing that some investors like to appear successful I think it is impossible to arrive at the same conclusion by reading just anybody's comments. For the truth, we must choose carefully even among ourselves whose comments are real for our purpose. So, perhaps the "bad guys" thread will be more useful than we now imagine. There may be many more hurt investors than we realize! Dave
