Yes, the same thought, discipline, planning applies. Funny enough, I made the seed money for real estate through stocks. When things were good, I sold---because nothing good lasts forever. It doesn't take a genius.

That by no means negates JayB's point - which is it isn't always possible to make a profit. The assumption I see many under 40 operating on is that Real Estate always appreciates - and the only people that lose money are those who made poor choices. In the face of a region wide RE decline, you are fucked. Furthermore, if it weren't for the massive wealth accumulation by the very wealthy, the economy as a whole may well have been screwed by the underlying structural weaknesses. There's a mixed blessing if ever. I was not negating JayB's point. I was agreeing with SC. I am no Econ Ph.D; but with a Master's in Business I can say that I understand the very basic concept of business cycles. There are many people like me (folks who have an understanding that lala land of only making money and not risking losing it) doing the same thing, and some of us will do well. Some won't. There is never any guarentee for anything financial--no matter what anyone tells you. I've noticed in discussions with folks that those who think the market only goes up are those who haven't purchased investment property. Anyone have a different experience with this?

So my mom is visiting me to share this special season. Tonight, we are having fun signing her up on match.com. (Side note: if you are a good guy over fifty, single, living in Boise or Seattle, PM me.) Being on the computer reminded her of something she needs some help with. She tells me she has an issue with her laptop--she needs to renew her Norton Anti-virus. I say sure, we can renew that for you. Mom: "So you can help me renew my Norton" Me: "Sure" Mom: "That's great, let's do it" Me: "Did you bring your laptop?" Mom: "No, can't we just do it from yours?" Me: snorting carrots and dip out my nose from laughing. Mom: doesn't get it.

I'll say.

I ask a question much like this every time I get another letter from my Alma Mater asking for a donation. I think, "Hey, didn't I already pay these guys?"

I agree with SC here. I have been very successful over the last seven years doing exactly as he outlines. I made a clear plan and followed it. I made adjustments along the way as necessary--shifting with the market as it changed. It is possible for the mere mortal to do well with a little bit of planning, a good dose of dicipline, and a hell of a lot of luck.

I want to do anything that would consume my interest for a whole hour.

the one with the most substance is the one having the most fun

So is being clever. Give it a try.

These people have no asses.

Beastforum is a great way to waste and hour or two.

Guess you haven't been thrown against a fence yet! You obviously don't know what you are dealing with here...

You should be horrified. Anyone with over a K of posts should automatically get banned and have to chose a new avatar. Oh, that reminds me, how is Pink?

people are so sensitive.

World's ugliest dog. I remember that.

I'm thinking about bolting everything in Index, including the sidewalks. Do you think anyone would mind?

Hey, should climbers carry MLUs with them?

Fortunately for me, my mind is empty.

I like to be bitten.
