this is a quote from me a few posts before this one. I DO promote diversification just at this time i advocate being very very careful being too heavily invested on the long side of the equity markets.
obviously there is skill involved with the markets and its not all pure luck, i didn't mean to say the game is rigged for you to lose over the long haul like on a slot machine. Also if you are smart enough there are ways to beat the casino or at least get the best odds of having a chance. Such as counting cards in blackjack. Or playing craps. Not sitting in front of slot machines which is the by far worst thing to play in casinos and i also the most popular of course.
:toast:
actually now that i think about it why do i keep referencing the dow :think2:
dow is such a farse its a basket of just a few stocks (30) and these change over the course of time as different stocks rotate in and out
wilshire 5000 is the most accurate portrayal of the overall markets
that's down a nudge off .18%

Citi to hold emergency board meeting: report
Friday November 2, 4:43 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc's board of directors is holding an emergency meeting this weekend, Dow Jones reported on Friday.
Citigroup's poor stock performance -- the bank's shares have fallen more than 30 percent this year, and are trading at their lowest level since April 2003 -- has left many investors urging the ouster of Chief Executive Chuck Prince.
The agenda for the weekend board meeting was not immediately clear, but the topic of write-downs may come up, the Dow Jones report said.
"You can imagine the pressure they're feeling from the market's reaction to negative news, and their continuing inability to reassure the market," said Thomas Russo, a partner at Gardner Russo & Gardner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which invests more than $3 billion and owns Citi shares.
The meeting comes just weeks after Citigroup reported a 57 percent decline in earnings and recorded $6.5 billion of pretax losses and writedowns in subprime mortgage bonds and other assets.
CIBC World Markets analyst Meredith Whitney on Thursday said Citi may need to raise more capital through measures including dividend cuts and assets sales. Citi's shares dropped 8 percent on Thursday and another 2 percent on Friday.
Michael Hanretta, a spokesman for Citi, declined to comment.

at its roots this ron paul movement is a generational struggle willie
this system is unsustainable and the under 30 crowd is gonna be left with one huge mess
I'm guessing essentially 0% of ron paul's support come from people over the age 40 with no children
most of the adults that support ron paul are there i'm guessing in some part because the are thinking about their children. at ron paul rallies you tend to see quite a few young kids.
check out this family met them on several occasions great people and their kids are so damn cute, bunch of truther moonbats i tell ya :aktion033

Just stop Tiz, most Ron Paul supporters will grow up, the rest will be your generations' Dead Heads.
Changes must be made and will be made, just like they always have been, eventually.
Your generation will have it better then my generation, just like we had it better than our parents.
Ron Paul will fade faster than Vanilla Ice and WTC implosion theories. Even Rosie is jumping ship on that one.
