With a nickname like investor2, the use of the term "company ownership" follows. We don't own companies. We buy and sell a piece of paper at auction. The value of a share is the last price that was paid for it. It is a game of risk. The blood suckers (brokerage houses) puts out the PR about investing in America. It is just a game of risk, the house always wins and they control the game. They will feed investors with anything to keep them playing so shares can be dumped from their big customers or obtain cheap shares. The stock topics are full of sheep and those trying to control them.

I2, my basic point was that letting your emotions affect your buying and selling of stocks is dangerous and the stock topics do a very good job of feeding those emotions. If you can buy stocks with company ownership in mind and avoid the emotional ties that's fine. I have found in the last year that using TA with a trading system has helped me to take the emotional element out of my stock picking. Terry
