hello Monk also, thanks for your special talent of giving and sharing with others! thanks also to the other Den members present for the warm welcomes to me. SSB i really like your alarm system for your petty cash nestegg in your sig, lol. been out of work for a year now, and stumbled across Monk & the Den a couple months ago. i am a novice investor and very inexpierienced computer user. i really dont like all this typing, lol! i recognized the huge movement going on in your picks Monk and where it could lead to as well. more importantly, i recognized how REAL and sincere & friendly this whole group was, and new i had found something special. what's interesting is i watched the family grow in the last couple months from core members and an average amount of new people joining daily, to a 49er type gold rush in the last month. a majority of the new folks in the last month seem to be very seasoned veteran traders, and its wonderful, because us novice investors are getting a fantastic, fairly safe & secure, free, friendly hands on education here at MONK university! now, what i have recently noticed, is alot of core and longer time members just chillin and relaxing at the Den like they should be. i know im new, but it's simple to me, just buy & hold & relax! so, i just thought i would stop by and say hi to the den, and THANK YOU. you all are great! i have to get back to class now at MONK U. todays lesson is about after lunch power hour on fridays, i think it will be a good one! enjoy you all 8)
