A FINAL THOUGHT FOR TONIGHT....
Investing today has become a very much mainstream event.
The internet itself has allowed that very possibility.
This Message Board itself invokes the true spirit of what the Internet was intended to be.
Through all my following of the Internet over the past twenty PLUS years, the most important aspect to me has been that of COMMUNITY.
Just as in real life, communities thrive or die upon the notion of how well the community interacts. In this particular Internet Community, it is not as important as to whether we agree on issues as it is on how we respect each others' opinions.
One of the most powerful aspects of the history of the United States is hidden in the stories of the "old west".
In those days, there was always the fear of the unknown amidst the desire for a better future, which was constantly challenged by the daily struggle of discerning the difference.
Those early pioneers held two beliefs.
1) The Right to Bear Arms.
(The ability to defend oneself)
2) Freedom of Religion.
(The ability to believe in something beyond oneself)
It may sound odd to you, but isn't that what Internet Investing Message Boards seem to be....still today?
To me, Mr. Haffer is a shining example of the American Dream. The only difference today is that I can be a part of his focus, and hope as he does, that his success will be our success as well.
Goodnight.
