Lemur Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Up well over 100 Dow points and 18 rut points on my longs, and have never been so scared that that kind of gain could evaporate in 2 minutes flat... 698525[/snapback] Is that a good 'buy fear' signal?

DrStool Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Dr Correll - wall of text aside, congrats on being focused so early. You're miles ahead of where many of us were at 20. Best of luck. 698477[/snapback] I disagree. I think that his priorities are sadly misplaced. If it's only about money, then you miss out on life. At that age, at any age, the first priorities should be on building relationships and filling your head with knowledge to the greatest extent possible. The wealth will flow from that. The greatest riches come not from dollar signs. They come from the love of family and friends. One is only truly wealthy when they have love and joy. I know people with very little whose lives are filled with joy. I also know those with lots of money whose lives are empty and bitter. Obviously it's better to have both financial comfort and joyfulness, but the path to getting there starts best by seeking love and wisdom, not money.

Slappy Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I believe could stop this whole meltdown in about 10 minutes flat by donging some SKF or SDS. And yet, I feel no urge to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not keeping up with news and trading he could easily be in front of the TV playing XBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having lots of love & joy in my life at 20, and still do. I couldn't, however, have given even a rudimentary explanation at that point as to how the economy or financial markets worked, and had no real longer-term gut sense of the value of saving, beyond being able to afford something cool for my dorm room. I don't think it's either/or. If it were, obviously, love & family would come first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Looks like we get another chance to buy EWZ today. On second thoughts, this buying falling knifes business is not working out so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
