Always glad to see people are still reading. Just not much to post about right now. We've covered most all of the basics and I don't want this to turn into a "about Greg" thread because that's not what it's about. Every day I think about something to post --- but then it's not pertinent to 102 investing. So it's not that I'm not thinking about the thread -- it's just that there has to be a reason and something to post about that will HELP someone.
To post about daily ups and downs of the market is pretty pointless... and I personally never wanted the thread to be about which stock to buy or when to sell etc unless it's an example for the market in general (like the Facebook ordeal).
We're in a very unique position right now --- an election -- europe -- our own issues etc. My guess is - when we look back in a couple years - this will be viewed as an anomaly as markets go on a longer term basis. There is just so much uncertainty! I can't ever remember a stranger time for the WORLD. Politically and monetarily the world is really just a complete mess! In the meantime -- I've found plenty to be happy about and that for me is the focus. It's still a two year wait list for a Ferrari 458 Spider.... houses are selling... people around me are busy and doing "stuff" - going on trips etc.... so the take-away is that 80+% of the folks are what really count. They have jobs - they pay their mortgage - and life goes on. Invest in that... and let the rest of the stuff just be "news making headlines".
