   Ever heard of diversification??? You do not put too much of your money in   
   stocks   
   alone. Ever.

   Not about investing. I haven't lost any money, overall, yet.   
   I didn't during the dotcom crash. I didn't during the '87 crash.

   The problem with day trading is it's no longer the purview of financial   
   perfessionals. Any idiot can day trade now. The internet has made that   
   possible.

   Well, gee, I was almost hoping you could actually get through   
   a post(one that has some interest for me) without bringing   
   this up.

   Funny thing is, I feel fine...exactly as I did 20   
   days ago.

   You know if you actually have enough money to invest   
   why haven't figured out how to make enough to get   
   away from all the horrific air.
