Your moving up at a very fast pace.
I was hoping that I'd see someone doing a little worse than me? :embarrest:My PIP rating was higher (worse) than your largest number and I have kept daily account figures, % readings, etc. The PIP reading was off by +5.00% I should be really in the hole!
Oh Well, If you invest with risk to get rich, you must be ready for the opposite to occur. The good returns will come back but When?
POOLMAN / BIRCHTREE - Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement. I've been quite happy to poor more money down the drain of this bummy economy, and wouldn't mind seeing stocks down for a few more years. I much prefer buy on the downside vice the upside. I'm currently able to max out my contributions ($16.5K) for this year, and think I'll be able to do it next year and the year after. After that I think I'm hoping I can keep it maxed out for the long haul.
I'm sticking to my plan - disciplined and steady investments every other week. I'm not as smart as the hot shot money managers on Wall Street. I'm betting on slow and steady wins the race in the long run. My money - my rules...
DANNYBOY - Keep the shares cheap - more I can buy the better! I don't need the good returns for a few more years down the road.

Hi OBGIBBY,
After reading my stuff, the day after I'm :embarrest: ? I am always grateful to you & all members on the MB, for helping me. I need to see that there is more to life than being at the top of the MB. :laugh: I also salute Kevin for his status and input to the board.

Don't Get Hit by Crash at Finish Line
Can you make the risk of stocks go away just by owning them long enough? Many investors still think so. But, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell warned, you shouldn't mistake wishes for facts.

It's been a long time coming. I'll sit up and take notice when the Yuan finally becomes a tradeable/buyable currency. Although for years we've been saying out one side of our mouths that we support a strong dollar, we also have been warning China/Japan/Other exporters that buying up the dollar to decrease the value of their exports was currency manipulation and would come back to haunt them. Now if only we could get the Treasury to stop continuing the "we support the strong dollar" rhetoric - we don't even have the pom poms out anymore on that one.
The U.S. troops in Afghanistan have obviously retained their sense of humor.
You may be Taliban if:
1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.
2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes.
3. You have more wives than teeth.
4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon "unclean."
5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against
7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.
8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least one.
10. You've always had a crush on your neighbor's goat.

115 future voter and they know ACORN will help them out. Food assistance, WIC, heating and electric assistance, housing, daycare, maybe some education assistance. All at the taxpayers dime, it is their reward for "gaming" the system. Redistribution of wealth. Don't have to lift a finger to survive and the boy friends are endless because they are getting a check.
They figured it out and word is spreading fast. "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
I think I will go out and beat up a tree.

Niall Ferguson: Dollar May Drop 20% More on Deficit - Bloomberg
...The dollar will extend its drop versus the euro over the next two to five years, falling as much as 20 percent to an all-time low under a widening U.S. budget deficit, Harvard University’s Professor Niall Ferguson said.
Policy makers favor the dollar’s slide as a means of supporting a recovery from the worst economic slump since the Great Depression even as they voice support for a strong greenback, Ferguson said in an interview on Bloomberg Radio...
*** Anyone care to opine on how this projection, if accuate, may impact the I Fund? ***
