The silly thing is I probably spent more money today buying stocks than Afishegg makes in a year. That's what's great about capitalism - do your time in grade and then work the retirement funds.

Ouch, I must've hit a nerve. You might have...you might havn't, with the way you seem to hemorrhage money though with your investment decisions ( # 500 something with a -6.50% YTD return on the autotracker, and my # 60 something with about a 10% YTD return) it ain't to hard to fathom blowing by you like a financial sonic boom. All at the ripe ole age of 34! ( not your age obviously...but mine) hehehe. Just for reference, the G fund is # 222 on the autotracker, the Freakin G Fund is outperforming you!!!!

(I tried to be nice.) Hell, why don't you just go all in 100% I fund? Shoot for the stars and see if you can't hit #700 on the autotracker!

Don't worry, we're both just having a little fun - it don't mean a thing.

Not trying to back anyone's methods or defend their systems. But remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint.
January 1, 2011 - November 2, 2011 isn't even a 400m.

Exactly what I was thinking. Returns for just one year are very meaningless compared to the big picture. I was up 20% at one point, now I'm at like 10%. So I'm -10% for the past 3 months, which is pretty bad, but I'm currently 57th on the tracker. You win some, you lose some.

Bottom line, it would not have been that hard to be down 20% for the year this year. Especially with the most recent correction in August, and the Tsnumai in Japan. Heck all it would have taken was one badly timed vacation.

Here we go with Europe. Futures are down because of D*mn greece! Im SICK of hearing about these people, kick them out and get the pain overwith already. Anyway... I wanna give a shoutout to birch, hey birch I hope you have a good year this year ol buddy, just try and remember you have 2 thats t.w.o IFT's per month, and to those guys that were in the top 5 spots last year good job i just had a whiskey sour in your honor, think ill go have another, i'll definately be keepin an eye on ya'll this year.

Birch, (pointing to top 5 guys) you see, thats how we have to do it :cheesy:......Good luck everybody in 2012 and let the GAMES BEGIN..........(grabs birch by the arm) "now c'mon lets get outta here before someone calls the cops".....

Yeah, It doesn't look like it is going to be a good day.

Well fellers! It's been a while eh? Anyway, just gettin caught up, im actually up on things believe it or not. I was in last week but pulled out friday, went from S to F fri, so im up 3% in a week. Im happy about that. Im siitin outside in this Texas heat downing a few cold ones. I hope everyone is doin good, hope your accounts are doin better.

Birch, hey (wavin hysterically) ! Hope your doin good, I see your posting alot and i read em, thats great! (I dont always agree with birch, but i find his tenacity and zeal for perpetual positive news refreshimg in a world of negativity) Anyhoo.... I have a garden going, Tomatoes, green beans,purple hull peas,jalepenos,and a hybrid hot banana pepper, oh and some kinda wierd cilantro.

I wanna post my medium to long term outlook. Basically things suck! I cant for the life of me see how europe is going to get above water anytime soon, the numbers are so big it is scary. The governments baught themselves time back in 09' 10' nothing more, politicians like post-poning things so they can loot/pilfer then hand it off to the next a**hole to rinse wash repeat, BUT NOW! I believe it has FINALLY caught up to them (world leaders) and we are going to see some MAJOR SH*T hit the proverbial fan. I think current politicos are like deer in the headlights just wondering what to do, when its obviouse to the average joe schmuck with half a brain that the brick wall is about 100 yards up ahead! Put your helmets on folks because this bus is about to hit full speed, and were all on aboard together......i give this whole f'ing system another 2-3 years and we will be all hurtin somethin serious! (Holding beer up!)

Cheers!...
