RE:RE:GrahamB Sometimes, people get shortsighted and jump to conclusion about any topic. I look at it this way.. I have owned some of the successful corporations, WMT, LULU, MCD, BDT, NSC, SU, ENB, and others and each one of them did not go up exponentially. They had their ups and downs, and where I sit now,I have recouped some of my capital expenditures. If I sold these shares when they were being shorted, I would have not the luxury of sending my three kids to University, cruise/travel extensively and sitting comfortably in my waning years..
My advice to who ever listens: DO NOT INVEST MONEY THAT YOU MIGHT NEED 1 OR 5 YEARS. DO YOU DUE DILIGENCE, You can ensure the safety of your investment if only you can exhaust every effort of absorbing your source of information. Once you have done this: FUD ( Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt ) is just an illusionary obstacle only if you focus your energy in seeking the discernment of truth. One may be able to know success without being able to do it.
This, my friend is what I live for.... Have a great day.
