    Smile Philosophy #1, Rule #1.

    Philosophy #1, Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself!
    Rule #1, Don’t panic if you miss the up ticks,
    There will always be more.
    Nothing gained but nothing lost!
    It is far more important that you learn how to avoid the down turns.
    At lease to know how to get out of them quickly!
    Thank-you, Thank YOU For the G and F FUND!!!!!

    AND don't forget it's twice as hard to recoup your losses because a fund loses money while you're in it than it is to recoup losses because you were in the "G" and missed an up tick.

    Philosophy 0, Rule 0: I don't need no stinking rules. Rules are for those that want more by imposing restrictions on those that have little.

    Lets pretend you believe in God’ OK?
    Then lets say that you believe that God created heaven and earth,
    I like to think that means that God created Matter and Energy.
    If God created matter and energy , (And we assume that matter and energy are finite, can not be created or destroyed) And that God created LIFE, than does it not make since that Life is finite also?
    If life is finite then, “how many butterflies does it take to create a redwood tree????

    Posting in the lounge is open to all. My post was in response to your rules. You invited responses. I responded with why others make rules. Your philosophy and rules belong in your account talk if they only apply to you.

    I invite others to respond, I want to know them. i would never/ever impose my rules on other, I would like to know your rules, What do you live by? Whats important to you? As you say, this is the Lounge and open to all.. If so Is it not also a place to share our thoughts/ Aside from the fact were all here to emprove our selves. is it not a place to sit back and have a beer? Talk to our neighbors? Must this entire site be devoted to the ticker? Is not the lounge a place to relax and get some comic relief.
    Share philosophy?
    i don't want to step on toes,,, Am I wrong? if so let me know!
    Note: I think in my account talk,, I want to talk about my account. (But not here!)
