Thread: New guy on board

  1. #1

    Default New guy on board

    Hey Folks, gotta say this an awesome site. Learning alot with all the rough seas. The skinny is I have been vested for 15 years now and until recently I never paid much attention to the market. I have 17 yrs. to go and want to make the most of it. No doubt I am on the right site for it. One Question, should I become a member of premium services to help me with informed EFT's and timing. It would appear that short term is going to be very important for awhile. Thanks in advance for comments.

    Welcome gonefishin! Thanks for joining in.

    I'm a little biased when it come to the premium services, so I'll let others handle that.

    I'll just say that I read all of the services daily, yet I still think I know better and I have not followed them as closly as I should have.

    How has that worked out for me in 2008? Not so good. Maybe I'll be smarter in 2009.

    ouch! It's easier to say that than explicts that I allowed when viewing my account balances of late. Fortunately I got out early but not near early enough. My timing is either to late or to early. Now that I have this web site to help I feel much better.

    If I spent as much time trading as I did fishing I would probably live on Wall Street. The catchin is slow right now though

    The above thread should help you figure that out. Search tool is great for answering questions that may have been asked before. BTW-Welcome!
