It's gotten "hard" for me to add new info --- and still trying to keep it in the 102 vein....

Glad / hope it's been helpful !!

Glad to know people are still taking interest in it all these years later.

i have read almost this entire thread in the last 3 months and have used information from. i appreciate it.

will there be an investing 103?

Amazing what you started Trey!!!








You are probably on to something there -- maybe a condensed version of 102.... LOL

I know it's a lot of reading now - because of the length of time since Trey started the thread --- but I actually think --- if people start from the beginning like you've done -- and take some time and read it all -- they'll actually get good information for all of the discussions. There's lots of little gems of info in there from many sources.

What's really amazing --- is if you pull of a chart of "the market" from the day Trey started the thread - to today..... if a guy just started with basic investments - he's looking pretty damn smart right now. And that was always my goal. To just get people to start.

I doubt it. In my mind 103 would be too specific to the desires and goals of the individual. Be it investing strictly in certain segments or styles of investing/trading. I'd think people would have to seek out that information on their own.


From such a simple request for information, too. I never thought it would get this much attention or help this many people.

It's a fact that people get wealthy/financially secure from taking small, simple steps and planning long term. You don't wake up one day with lots of money in the bank typically. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right path.

Thanks for all you've contributed Greg and to everyone else for making this thread great.

Job and income chance a few years ago I have been out of the loop treading water. Getting ready to start investing again and just caught up on the last 2.5 years of this thread. It was kind of funny seeing the conversations of what is going to happen while already knowing what did happen. Still very greatfull for this thread and even though I have not need been able to add more my retirement account has grown and DRIP has increased my positions.

I finished reading this entire thread almost a year ago to the day, and opened my own "102" account. Investing extra income over the last year I've seen a 14% increase between growth and drip. Yeah, the market's been good, but I attribute most of this to those "gems of wisdom" I've gotten from this thread. Thanks to Trey and Greg, and everyone else who's contributed!

Awesome!!!

And just another in a series of "OOPS" we lost your money -- oh well......




One of Japan’s biggest cryptocurrency exchanges said that about $400 million in NEM tokens were lost after the coins were sent “illicitly” outside the venue, spooking investors in a country that’s still wary of digital-token exchanges four years after the collapse of Mt. Gox.

I'm really glad to hear this thread if continuing to help people. Congrats to you guys on reading, learning, and acting on your new found knowledge.
