    Head first into the pavement at 130 MPH.



    Good luck "investing" in a "casino" market place.

        I'm still steadily putting away a few thousand every month in a conservative and geographically diversified portfolio (under the mattress).
        BTW if you want a proper stock marrket fall look at what happened in the 1930s depression - Yet those who had a long term view that ecompassed this period still made money.

          What's a marrket?
          You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

            It's laughable that you think anyone would believe your fantasies after your posts expose so much ignorance about investment strategy.

            Why don't you stick to your piddly 25 and 50K amounts of gold ?

              did you use an investment adviser when you first started out, if so are there any you recommend?

              i know nothing about the markets, want to start investing but don't really wanna spend my days strawling the stock movement pages in the FT, i'd much rather start by paying someone to do it for me....

                that said I always wanted to be a tester since being a young lad but have been time and time again that im too useful as someone who actually produces output to be a tester
                I don't test any more. I'm a so-called 'test manager' for my sins. That means 95% of the rate of a project manager with 5% of the stress.

                    Yep, but they had to survive a long time to make it.
