Now - since I'm in Scottsdale enjoying some sunshine after our rainy Run To The Alamo race event... I'm going to hit the Starbucks and start my day!

Cheers!

Gotta say, it sounds like an old softy, but it warms my heart to see people getting excited about this...Makes me feel good, because I am only trying to help. Makes my day.

Well that and going into the Car dealer the other day to buy my new used toy for cost with a new car warranty, and a pleasurable experience at the car dealers. Wife and i were so prepared and together, that they were blown away.. Second biggest purchase you will ever make, smooth as butter...

I guess time will tell, but I hope I did the right thing.

I was kidding. NastyZ28 is a great site, and the info in this thread is worth sharing.

Wish I could update saying I have purchased my stocks but no such luck. I'm being worked into the ground at present. Hopefully soon I'll have enough of a break to be able to regain my mental fortitude enough to make important decisions.

I went back to when you started this wonderful thread..

It has only been a couple of months..

I was glad to see that..It has not been that long...

If it had been a year or two, i was going to come back and SCREAM..

But you started this thread, and any motiivation we can do to get you going, we will...

You have the tools from Greg, and other studies. Now you just have to make the leap.

Man, I did it in 2009, and even still, i do it.

I fell you, when I did it, my thoughts were swirling in my head, should I ? Then when I decided to, I still put it off...Because I knew the future if I did nothing.

The rest was unsure.. I still think we will have LARGE tests of a mans fortitude to stay in this game..

As you are buying in , maybe dollar cost averaging, those will be times to buy cheap.

I think 2012 could go any way....It could be as Crazy as 2011, It could start the slow climb up, or we could get wacked big time.

But no matter what, i am glad I did. Get some rest and get er done..

Well -- I know we still all thank you for starting this thread! It's been very gratifying.

To those that are still on the fence -- or hear the TV talking heads proclaim "the market is high and now is not the time to buy" --- or --- the predictors of giant market falls. I'll ask you to do this simple mental exercise:

Go back to the charts - 5 year - 10 year - and look at the line from left to right and then (other than the gigantic '08/'09 dip) ask yourself when was the "right time" to have waited to get in?

Obviously anyone that bought in the big dipper.... got a nice reward - but for most all the stocks that we'd pick using the info in this thread -- they're all higher NOW than they were before the big dipper... so if you bought in '07 at the very peak - you'd still be ahead right now. Now to top that off, you'd also have collected 5 years worth of DIVIDENDS...

This is a game that can't be played from the sidelines.
