Stocks And Trade

[ness]

Sounds reasonable. Thanks.

The Casino comparison is right. That's why IF I do this, I'll only use a small amount of investment, someone I can lose (same in going to a casino).

If nothing else, this is an interesting thread. I'm learning. Thanks.

I remember sitting in my dentist's chair and having him spout off about how much he was making in stocks. He wasn't alone -- everybody was making a killing and talking about it. I already thought things were inflated, and his confidence is what pushed me to move a large percentage of my retirement out of stocks. That was 1999, and I remember that because of the tech bubble that popped right after that. I'm not bragging, it's just when the whole world thinks the market is a sure thing, it's time to exit.

It feels the same way with gold. When you're pounded with commercials saying it's time to buy gold, and others are begging you to sell them your jewelry, it just feels like a bubble in the making. I've gotta think it's gonna pop relatively soon.
