You come across as very arrogant whether you intend it that way or not.

No, this is NOT "Welcome to the world of investing" for me.    I've been ivesting for two decades and I've done very well doing this       ..........although, granted, I have lost some money ON PAPER with this one thus far        ...........I'm not worried, I'll eventually get it back.

NO, I AM NOT COMPLAINING       ..........rather stating my opinion, my perspective, and my story        ........I DO HAVE such a right, and, believe it or not, many of us are actually interested in HEARING OTHER'S PERSPECTIVES AND THOUGHTS (afterall this is a public message board) and NO, just because it doesn't agree with yours doesn't give you the authority to label it as such.  And did I not already write in my last message that "I AM NOT COMPLAINING"?  (I've gotten over it        ...........LET'S MOVE ON AND FOCUS ON THE FUTURE!!!!!)

Lastly, I did do DD.    Does that guarantee short term results??!!!   Does it even guarantee longterm results?     Can good DD take every future event into consideration?   IF SO then we would all be filthy rich and retired now wouldn't we?    

Aside from that you made some good points.  Best of luck to you.
