It always surprises me when a millionaire, on paper, becomes penniless overnight. But it is the rule, not the exception. Those who keep their money are the exception. Easy come easy go, eh? The thing that gets me is that people don't just say--OK, I've got my 500k (or 1 million or 2 million or whatever the heck it is that is enough) and say that's my untouchable money. That's living money and it's not going to be gambled no matter what. It will now and forever be known as 'DEAD MONEY'. Ole Bobby Dylan got it right. How many times must a man prove he's a man? Oh, I ain't got enough yet, but I'm getting there by putting most of my money into a 'DEAD' place. When I've got enough 'DEAD MONEY', I will start playing with 'LIVE MONEY' in the stock market and see if it will grow exponentially. mike
