Mike - regarding your question ... What did you think of the gist? (the "ordinary" person being a big time "plunger" in securities markets) ... I don't know if I have ever actually stated my opinion on stocks, ... here on CBS, I mean here on "the thread," but ... I have had so little interest in stocks that neither my wife or I had a stock brokerage account open (or owned any publicly traded stocks) from around 1991 - 1997. (We re-opened accounts when we learned about QCOM from someone on this thread, who shall remain nameless). On those rare occasions when I was actually working in a job where there was a (forced) "retirement" savings plan, I always chose the money market fund for 100% of my assets, since the idea (from business school) of "don't work in the securities business and also have your retirement money in an asset class that has nearly perfect positive correlation with your ability to earn a good living" -- made a lot of sense to me. If one knows something about trading/speculating, commodity futures trading is the only way to go. If one does not know what they are doing, they will be separated from their money -- slowly (usually) in the stock market, and quickly in the futures market(s). Jon.

<< who the hell can certify if the facts of the fairy tale are written in stone? >> Hi Mike, I wasn't around last week, but if I was, I think this might of come to mind. Enjoy. nf Who is Jack Schitt? -- The Lineage Revealed Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt. Now, you can handle the situation. Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and Oh Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Oh Schitt, the owner of Kneedeep N.Schitt. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and the deeply religious couple produced six children! Holie Schitt, the twins - Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt ,Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt. Against his parent's objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe later married Mr Scherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Dip Schitt married Loada Schitt and they produced a Mongoloid son, Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseperable throughout childhood, and consequently, married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned with a new bride. Pisa Schitt (aka Khoa). Now, when someone says you don't know Jack Schitt, you can tell them to get their Schitts straight. Disclaimer. Any resemblance to any man, woman or it on this thread is only a matter of ill-concieved coincidence.
