Re: "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." Let me ask you the same question I asked David. What is your trading time frame? Do you day-trade? What does "long term" mean to you? Thanks, I2

"The stock topics are full of sheep." One extremely interesting insight I gained, too late, was that often the stock topics are a trailing indicator, and not a leading indicator. There is a flurry of excitement and good feelings about a stock after the stock has gone up. There is a flurry of remorse and foreboding after the stock has dropped. Oddly it's when there is a quietness in the thread that the stock suddenly heads higher. Nicholas (Not a bad post for that other little thread....)
