Anyway, what happens to shares if I sell and nobody immediately wants to buy them? Or do they sit around unsold until someone does?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by Bob Dalek View PostSilly jibe? Well, sort of. But, my POV is that it IS gambling and the idea that "lots of gambles to mitigate that risk" sounds just like a horse racing punter who thinks that there's a System nobody else knows about, or that gambling is, in essence, always going to earn for you in the end. It ain't so.
My point(s) is(are),
You make your gambles low risk by doing your research.
You make lots of gambles at a low value so up to 30-40% of them failing won't cause you to lose overall.
It's not a system, it's common sense. And there are people who make a living from both horses and the stock market."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
