TRYINGTOFADE,
LMAO.
MY GRANDFATHER IS A CLIENT.
BUFFETT HIDES A LOT OF HIS EQUITY SIMILAR TO BW. TRUST ME, HE IS VERY DIVERSIFIED.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE'S UP/DOWN ON??
THE WHOLE POINT OF MY POST WAS TO PRESENT THE IDEA OF NOT BELIEVING A LARGE PORTION OF WHAT THE MEDIA PRINTS AND WHAT IS REPORTED. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF DISHONESTY AND ABUSE OF POWER. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVESTIGATE REALITY. ALWAYS ASK WHY. DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY WE HAVE NEVER BEEN BACK TO THE MOON AFTER SPENDING BILLIONS ON THE PROGRAM TO GET THERE, ONLY TO SCRAP THE PROGRAM SOON AFTER??
I'm not really trying to delve into politics as much as I'm trying to investigate how some of your thought processes work. Not that anyone is right or wrong, I am curious to see similarities. Just basically a FWIW.
Dicky, LOL. I meant to mention that I am not attacking anyone. And the following statement has nothing to do with you. I value everyone's opinion, no matter the grey-matter behind it. Very similar to fading, you can classify opinions about other things in life the same way in the journey for knowledge and truth. I didnt mean to sound cross, I was fishing for rebuttals. IMO, the fact that Jake can take this kind of punishment speaks volumes. One of the hardest things to handle in this market is the day-to-day failures that everyone endures. You have to LOSE 45% of the time in order to WIN 55%. You must be confident. You have to realize that after you lose you are usually more apt to WIN, and random days off because you are losing is out of the question. But at the same time you have to guage the events and propositions for each day, and sometimes the bad streak is due to a bad menu. You can only gain experience by experience, and the worse the experience the more valuable it is.

THAT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS!! MUCH OF THE PUBLIC THINKS ALIKE AND IS EASILY MANIPULATED BY THE MEDIA ETC. AFTER 911, THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS UNITED IN A CRUSADE AGAINST WORLDWIDE TERRORISM. NOW THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED OVER REMOVING A TWO-BIT BUTCHER FROM POWER. IT TOOK LESS THAN 18 MONTHS FOR THE PUBLIC TO FORGET/MEDIA TO SPIN. DO YOU THINK THESE WACKOS WILL EVER STOP?? ARE YOU KIDDING, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR- EXCEPT DEATH ITSELF. THIS IS HOW OTHER SPECIES PRACTICE POPULATION CONTROL, THE CROCODILE EATING ITS YOUNG. ARENT WE ABOVE REPTILES, YET? GIVEN ENOUGH TIME THE WACKOS WILL END THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, WHAT DO THEY CARE?? I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT RELIGION AS LONG AS THE FUNDAMENTALS ARENT PRACTICED AS THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE KORAN. BUT THAT IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. WE ARENT SO SHELETERED THAT WE WONT GET STUNG BY A FEW ANTS GOING AFTER THE QUEEN, BUT GIVEN ENOUGH TIME THE ANTS WILL SPREAD AND QUICKLY NUMBER SO MANY AND BECOME POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DESTROY INFINITELY MORE. I DONT WANT THIS WAR EITHER, BUT WHAT IS THE VIABLE ALTERNATIVE?? SOMETIMES THE BEST FOREIGN POLICY IS "WHO WANTS SOME?"
And that is not political in nature, it is a question of how best to preserve the pursuit of life and liberty. The pursuit of happiness is secondary when life and liberty is threatened, and IMO a lot of what is wrong with America is the widespread emphasis on short-term happiness ("Lets not do anything with the terrorists NOW, it might hurt a bit, let's wait and see what happens, lets not mess with the economy just yet" Clinton admin. then and the view of much of the public now).

Actually not a whole lot. Both financial advisors and touts dont really sell a tangible item, just opinions. If you own a stock you dont really own anything but an expectation, similar to sports. There are arguments both ways, but for simplicity's sake I am referring to a share of a failed company. Supposedly it WAS worth something, but was it REALLY? Depends on opinions, the reason it's actually called speculation. Oh sure, the company usually exists and there are items of value such as the office building itself etc. but same with a sports team. If a pro team played in an unheated high school gym on Tuesdays would it have an effect on the spread/market price? Companies with motivated employees generally produce a better product and have a higher stock price, same with sports teams. There are thousands upon thousands more corrupt financial advisors, accountants etc selling bogus investment strategies and cheating clients than there are touts giving out both sides. I guess my point is that if you wager recreationally then you dont take anything in this industry as seriously as someone who views this as a highly profitable market worthy of actual risk. So most touts are viewed simply as scumbags. But on the flip side, I have seen a lot of the corruption in the stock market first hand, so I play that market only a bit more than recreationally and I view a lot of financial advisors as criminals. The thinking is different. I just like to put trust in myself and limit as many intangibles coming from other people as possible. I know it will sound strange by saying that I have more control over a sports team's performance than a stock, but think about it. There are fewer wheels in the sports market, you know who all the players are, there is pretty accurate information posted each day about them, whereas in the stock market???? Noone can investigate all of a company's vital employees to see who is working or what agendas they have. There is so much going on behind the scenes that only key players know about. Many studies have been done showing that throwing a dart at the stock page and investing in the random stocks that the dart hits will consistently outperform the top advisors. There hasnt been an algorithm engineered that can consistently predict stock value without affecting the market in such a way that the algorithm itself has the effect of reducing value. In the sports market many people have.
We dont have to hate each other just because we have differing opinions, the main reason I express MINE is to HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
