FTFYOriginally posted by sasguru View PostOf course the stock market is all about the medium/long term i.e. 20 years, Only desperate impoverished chancers like you use it as a casino where you win some and lose some.
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.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

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.Originally posted by 2BIT View Posttis true, testing has to be the worst job you can do in a software project - last three projects I've been on the testers have generally a feckless bunch incapable of deviating from very prescriptive work methods and who seem to put more onus on the admin of the testing process rather than the actual testing....
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 testerAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
