The flip side of the coin is talking to the successful ones - how many will say it was just dumb luck? I'd perhaps rate it slightly higher, but my experience is colored by dealing with this crony capitalist http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54922-2005Jan6.html

I've met several who would admit to having lost big in the tech bubble. Clearly it was a strain on them, especially as they watched others make it big. Most interesting is they were all still bullish on tech stocks, whether because of habit or faith I don't know.

WTF are you doing in a pawn shop? I dig that the one I walk by always has snowboards but never skis

From one souless knowitall shitbag piece of yuppie scum to another: You'll fall in love with a Suunto. Fortunately Suunto's include a chestband. Unlike every other brand where you have to buy it extra.

he acknowledges he's an America hater.

you rolled snaffleyes?

You call that in insult? he's a windowlicker

you are the lovechild of kevbone and joblo7

yob tovyu mat!

I always fond contrary advice much more useful than pump and dump circle jerks. As for the iPhone & AAPL - watch overseas sales; they are the bellweather. The major revenue driver on the iPhone is AAPLs kickback from the service providers.

goat curry is damn good

what kind of dumb jizz gargling pantie wearing cocksucker thinks spray is worth anything?

wanna invest in my growth fund? You are just the know-it-all with money to burn I need! -C Ponzi

insults like that from someone asking for advice from morons like me that post on message boards are priceless

you squeal reaaalll goooooddd

Why wouldn't you? If you are looking to make money, that's the best way. If you wish to understand the market, you must participate in it. If you are a dilettante your returns will be better couple to fate than your own effort. I can, and have, argued about anything under the sun. Your comment shows you are either a dumb cunt (my vote because you think someone who's made a bunch of money is a great investor - cure Nick Leeson) or a shit stirrer (when I'm sober and generous)

what you got against the cuber?

Actually, it's completely the opposite. If I were good at investing THAT WOULD BE MY FULLTIME JOB. I don't trust any advisor, paid or unpaid. Why? Because if you had good advice you'd STFU instead of reducing your own returns. If you had really, really good advice you'd start a hedge fund and make $$$$$$ I know I'm average, at best. From what I've seen thats better than 75% of the investors out there who conflate luck with brains and refuse to accept everything in life is probabilistic - so them making a million doesn't mean they were any smarter than the shmuck making 10,000. If you are good at it, go full time. If you aren't, let the professionals deal with it. If you are asking for investment advice on a climbing BB, well, ask yourself the first question....

Marco Materazzi!

And how medium is the size medium? A true medium, or a medium on the L side?

Citimavens are currently hard at work figuring out how to split Citi into many pieces to raise money to survive. I doubt it will make a big return (unless you buy now before divestiture). Same goes for Bank "we'll buy a company about to go into bankruptcy and facing massive pending legal charges to position ourselves now for when the housing market rebounds in 2015" America. Asking for free investment tips? I'll file this under "Sexy Cocoa is dumber than tvashtarkatena"

Level 1? There are quite a few more providers out of the Seattle area, I've no experience with any. In Portland the only providers I know of are http://www.mountainsavvy.com/ (which looks to be full) The Mazamas and Mountain Hood Ski Patrol (unsure if either of these are available to non members)

Fuck you. Changes at 9pm big boy!
