Woofdaddy- I don't think you are being perceived as an asshole. I just think that 95% of the people that read Dante's post would have just said, "that's Dante." You just perceived it differently, and reacted differently. We all get pissed when someone offends us. It takes a lot to piss me off, and when I am pissed, I get over it quickly and hold no grudges. But Kodiak pissed me off this week, and I went off on him like I never have before. So, no worries. Just remember that Dante's sense of humor is, well, different than yours or mine.
I'll probably get your e-mail from the mods, as I'm intrigued and would like to discuss investments further. I've got most of my money in mutual funds. Good funds, but will never give me 100% a year gains routinely, like I would like. I had planned to trade actively, but I guess I'm scared of myself. If I lose in sports, no big deal, and there's no pressure. If I were to lose retirement money, very big deal.
