OT Joe,
Believe it or not, I was actually trying to HELP you! You are only showing your level of knowledge (or lack therof) by having to resort to name calling.
I NEVER claimed to have vast knowledge.
You have no idea what my cost basis is, so be careful with your assumptions!
You are absolutely wrong about this being "just a gamble"! If that is the way you are trading or investing then you indeed do have a very high probability of failure, IMO. In fact, you would probably have better odds in Vegas! However, if you can learn to do proper due diligence you can improve your success rate way beyond the "crapshoot mentality". I know too many successful traders to believe otherwise.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do,
TC
