Nuck,

You're either

A) Rich beeotch or
B) Need better deodorant.

Seriously though, I like new smell as much as the next guy. I'm just more willing to hitch a ride for the smell than to pay for it.

Wanna give me a ride? I'll smell your gear if you'll take money for the hitch. :9

I dont drive much, so having an old truck makes sense. Now if I get a new job across town then I will have to get something newer. For me having a car payment isnt worth it. I have extra cash to spend buying whatever. Now if I didn't see that extra cash and spend it, saved instead, I would be doing realy good.

Well there is not enough currency in circulation for me to ever consider myself rich sooooo..... Must be the deodorant. I normally wear Axe but I am out right now so it is ladies speed stick LOL. The hitching the ride thing is funny to me. I have heard many people say that the best boat to have is a friends boat. Someone has to be the friend I suppose

.

Now all that said I will give you guys this much. I would love to have back all the money I have waisted over the years hahahhaha. Not sure the cause, I grew up with nothing more than love.

I made 12% right up to the point where I lose 50%. But hey I have made about 40% since then so yea I am still way behind. If I could get back even I would bail and start buying property. I am just about convinced that the stock market is for people on the inside.

Street speak is "invest in what you know".

You would do as well investing in the auto industry as I would do investing in hi-los. Not good.

If you use the current 12 month period, Im sure you are correct, but that is short sightedness. Depending on your age (making some assumptions here) you are looking at a 30, 40, maybe 50 year time horizon for retirement?

That sounds like you can ignore the current bumps and blips and focus on long term investing goals.

Leave the heart-burn for the day-traders. I havent opened a statement in 2 years.
