Introduction Compact

As we slowly learn the ins and outs of trading on line, like myself, we sometimes get too excited about the posts and the threads that are out there. If I ever buy something that has been wrongfully "pumped up" I have NO ONE to blame but myself. Some of these threads are highly informative, and I have done fairly well with my picks.

But this other stuff "NEWS ON THE WAY, LOWEST PRICES IN YEARS, BEST PRICES EVER". FORGET IT!! It's like being in a Bargain Basement store selling junk for something. I should do what I do when I see those signs in store windows on the streets, keep on walking.

I have only been doing this a few months, and from what I see, there are some seasoned veterans out there. And in the world of the fast buck, it gets exciting watching this market go topsy turvy.

I am just writing this because I feel like it, and I blame nobody for the foolish, and sometimes false info that may be posted up here. But I do write this because there may be a new person reading this thread today, and my warning to them is DON'T GET TOO EXCITED !!!!!
(You see I let myself go again). Stay with YOUR OWN feelings and don't drift into the world of hard core gambling. Son't read something like "THIS IS A STEAL, BUY NOW BEFORE IT"S TOO LATE" and go against your better judgement. GOD gives us a voice inside to listen to. Keep listening. It will save you thousands of dollars.

This thread is a pretty cool place. It has a lot of good things, from a lot of smart people to offer. Good advice. And a few times I didn't know the terms of things, and asked, and got answers very quickly. Good guys and gals out there. But watch the scammers, and stay with your gut!!
