Don't fucking play! Stay in cash and wait for the inevitable crashes. They will happen. Buy gold and silver to keep away the fucking vampires. Invest in yourself.

Seems Robert Rubin optimized principles out of the equations. The outcomes from his decisions support that view.

"You can get more money but not more time"...ok...this was demonstrated to me one beautiful Saturday in spring.  I had an almost 30yr old toro lawnmower that I LOVED. Called him "the old man" during his last days. 2.5 briggs and stratton. Towards the end he was put together with liquid cement. Looked like hell, but i kept the blade sharp. At one point i took him to the shop to get a pull string replace and the workers thought it was a junk mower and took it 45min away to be junked. Much to their chagrin the small motor shop had to go retrieve the old man.

Anyhoo...back to the story. He started cutting out on inclines. Took the carb apart, googled and shit to no avail... Had him out front on said Saturday in question. An old guy, maybe 80-90 years old pulls up out of NOWHERE.. walks up and says. "Thats an old toro". I said yes sir it is, appreciating his knowledge. He says. "having any trouble with her"...I was blown away. Explained the situation and he says, "got a flashlight and flat head"? "Yes Sir"...anyway he fixed it..I was BLOWN away...

As he was walking back to his car, I made the stupid comment. "You should open a lawnmower shop you could make alot of money". Omg what a dork comment.

He turns around and says. "son I have plenty of money, its time Im running out of"...

#1 is Horseshit.  Studies have shown that holding the best American companies over the long term can generate crazy returns.  Look where you would be right now if you had held companies like IBM, KO, WMT, MCD, T, V, GOOG, etc even through all the crashes.  Markets crash, but they ALWAYS recover.  This is an undisputable fact.  If you hold stocks for decades and reinvest the dividends, you will be rich.  That's a guarantee.

Since 1988, the SP500 has returned 8.17% compounded annually.  I agree with you BUT I fear that inflation may actually be running 8%, and therefore eating up everything a stock market investor makes.  (Of course, 8% inflation would more than eat up everything a bond investor makes, and I think it would eat up even what a buy-and-hold real estate investor "makes".)

Mark Twain


 #13    "You’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that’s where the fruit is."

 

 #14    Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it

'The banksters need to repay us.'

 

  I like your tag line but you do know it will never happen. Maybe after all the descendants of slaves finally get their 40 acres and a mule... never.

Nobody ever lost money taking their profits.

Plenty lose money waiting for higher and higher profits.

Never chase a climbing stock price.

Always take your losses at your pre-decided margin.

Penny stocks are penny stocks for a reason.
