Happy Mother's Day to you, too, Austin. And to all the moms that read this board, and to all the husbands who read the board who love their moms, wives & daughters who are moms. I have many blessings to count that my beloved mother-in-law is still with us and doing extremely well after quadruple bypass surgery.
Thanks for your most recent note about questions to see if people are "blowing smoke" Austin. I pulled your leg a few days ago and it seems you thought I was rude. Perhaps I was. In the shower this morning I was remembering when I was new to investing and NVEI (then NVXE) was my first investment. That was in the high and hopeful days of early 2000. I would ask questions and people who were both short and long would speculate - often pretty extravagantly - about what the share price would be after this or that occurence. I would buy more and *darn!* wouldn't you know it - instead of the SP going up it would go down. Then I would feel angry at the speculators and angry at myself for taking the bait. Sometimes I posted that anger. Then one day one of the moss-backs private e-mailed to me and pointed out that I needed to be responsible for getting my own questions answered. He also stated that anyone who invests based on the opinions of people posting on a message board was doing themselves a disservice. He also recommended that I do my own DD, then invest as I feel right based on that DD, then own my decision whether the SP goes up or down - and get out if I feel badly about it.
Your most recent post appears that, by and large, that's how you're thinking. I sincerely hope it is and that you were just sort of jerking our chains. I think a lot of us have quit guessing what will happen to the SP - simply because when we have predicted it would go up in the past it's stayed even or gone down. I'm just hoping that the over-all guess we all made, the one that says this will be a valuable investment one day, turns out to be TRUE! Tigs
