Well said Greg! I know people have said this in previous posts, but you should really consider writing some sort of investing book, "Investing for Motorheads" or something. Seriously, before finding this thread i would have never actually opened up a brokerage account and started investing. Sure, i would have thought about it, but never actually done it because i was too scared of what i didnt know!! You have knack for explaining things in simple terms that are easy to grasp understand. THANKS to you and everyone else who helped make this thread what it is!!
