Greg, I totally dig your "
PASSION" about this whole investing thing. It's inspiring!!!!!
THAT is one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back to this thread. Especially recently. All a guy has to do is read 40 or 50 or a 100 pages of this ginormous thread and they will hear the repetition of your message, "This is NOT difficult" "don't do it for the day, or the month, do it for the long haul"

Saving or investing for their f'ckin' future? Learning a minimum amount about it. Knowing how important it is to their LIFE... ZIP!
We'll pull the trigger on a $10,000 motor... or $4,000 wheels... even though by the time the car is actually running - they'll be out of date... but to imagine that we'd buy $10,000 of Altria (MO) and that it might go down to $9,500 and PAY US a 5% dividend... well that' absolutely INSANE. Who'd do that!
UGH....
