Risk, Elane, Bull, Juanita, Rob, Hans, Jim and others. I thank you for the kind words. My reason for making that last post was because someone had insinuated that I had some illegal involvement with DGIV and MTEI. Yesterday and early this morning I saw talk on this thread the likes of "NEVER TRUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET". This made me sick. If we are not going to trust anyone on these threads what in the hell is the point of following them. I know full well that these threads are a perfect place for self serving disingenuous individuals to try and exploit the inexperienced. But I also know that I have made new friends , and received an education regarding investing and the investment world that I don't feel I could have received anywhere else. The internet is a microcosm of the real world complete with thieves, scammers, liars, cons, hustles, the self righteous, But flip the coin over and there you will find the trustworthy, the honest, the helpful, the caring, those willing to openly share their knowledge and experience to simply help another human being, you can find friendship, and you can find opportunities to make money. Where else in the universe can an individual with the click of a button find someone willing to share an Almond Chicken recipe or information on a company that many times is much more timely and accurate than that provided by the best brokerage firms. And receive that information in a few moments time. What we look for on the internet ,and how we use what we find is as individual as our faces. Personally I fully trust everyone whose names I posted at the beginning of this message as well as a great many more. People that I would not have had the pleasure or the benefit of knowing had it not been for these threads. So don't distrust everyone you see post on these threads, just use your heads , be careful and cautious, protect yourselves by using your own gut feelings based on your own lifes experiences in regards to what you read here on these threads. I don't mean to preach, I'm just sharing my own observations. You all have a great weekend and thanks again for the kind words.
