Investing is a lot like hot rodding. Each guy has different taste - different dreams - different resources... different skills.
Once you know how to tune up a car - the basics can be translated to any car..
It's the same in investing. Some guys are chart happy - some need to see a P/E (Price to earnings ratio) that makes 'em happy - some are more comfortable investing in the sector that they work in and understand the best... but the basics remain the same IF you want to be comfortable owning stocks.
But! Before you can DO any of this -- you've got to save some money each month - or be willing to save that bonus rather than blowing it going to Hawaii.... because saving for 10 years -- and investing -- will then allow you to go because your investments will be growing and compounding.... and that's what this thread is really all about. As Nike says! Just do it!   |
Thanks Greg...Yes some of the guys are bitten with interest, and some of them are both smarter than me, and they are excited, so a few will study, act and prosper..
We have the few nervous nelly's and of course the condesending sceptic talking before they read, and reading with bias, and then commenting.
I prefaced by saying that I am no pro and just here to help, and I get the comment that I SAID, I was a Guru, and to buy and trade Gold ??? hahahaha... Never in my words but people read what they want. So that is why I posted what I did.For those who start reading the thread with one eye, and listening with one Ear..
But you would be proud...Almost all are sharing why they are doing this, should I pay off this and do that..Thinking about it and getting ready to act..i love it..I recommend NOTHING but this thread, magazine's and resources, NO assets at all...So they can never say, i said to do this....But funny , someone will say it, but there are so many great people, the one or twp that don't read correctly, it is still worth it to see people getting excited about the right things. because i have a soft spot for those who taught me what i know. Killer life skills that no one wants you to know..
Also if they truly read as they should, you won't get bothered. AND IF YOU DO, tell them to finish reading because they flunked the Quiz.
