Just saw CNBC discussing Bitcoin..... and if you remember -- I was dead set against people getting into this kind of "investment" back when it was "the hot thing". I'll stick with that....


It's gone up crazy this last year -- wonderful.... I'm very happy for those people with the LUCK to have gotten in to it a year ago. Good for them...


But let's step back and ask ourselves how many of you would have gotten in to it when it was a $1,000 and rode it to $300?? I remember the big news about some "X" tech twin brothers sinking 10 million or something like that -- near the top --- wonder if they held and watched their 10 million turn in to 3....


It's GAMBLING -- sometimes you get lucky -- sometimes the house takes all your money. I'll stick with dividends (even though I - and some of you - have the money to gamble on stuff like this - I still won't do it - it's too depressing when it goes south).
