that's just it Sharky I do think my take on the Future is correct,for the record I'm 66,play Golf every day during season ,with a month++ down Florida way Feb.March,according to Globinvestor my average since 89 is 22%,your story on buying a stock is similar to mine in as much as I bought one @ $2 USA climb to $6 then drop to.08 I bought constantly saw it rverse again where I sold most in the Teens $13-16 it reached $30 but today I hold 8000 shares @.0001.I made a small fortune which I invested in TRUSTs,have since taken a licking thanks to Harper and Flaherty,we all have our way and means of investing ,mine works great for me I have yet to find a money manager or broker who can offer me any better.

Once again I do not understand those who focus on the past Connacher has ecplained itself to my satisfaction I remain invested and accumulate accordingly,and you are right a younger man has the time but for us older types "Diversification" should be the order of the day,at least Mutual Funds taught us that ,thing is you shouldn't have to pay for that in this day and age??
