You're just a weak fellow traveller. You will be liquidated, come the revolution.

You wouldn't know a real commie if he came up and expropriated your nose.

Everyone knows it's a con game. Big interest if you don't
get burnt.

The Chinese were right when they ran the stockbrokers
out of their country.

Spoken like somebody with a flawed investment strategy if I ever heard one.

And GP is right - stock ticker watching is for sheep or speculators... and I bet most people who watch them are sheep.

As long as he has cross-hairs on him, doesn't see the scope and there's a warshot in the tube, he's a good commie to me.

If you are really worried about stock scams, just buy a diversified portfolio. That way no single stock will drag you down. And the overall risk of ethics problems (should be) included in the price of the market.

So weak that you'd resort to violence...tsk tsk tsk...

"If you are really worried about stock scams, just buy a diversified portfolio. "

And if you're really scared, make sure that portfolio isn't all in stocks.

And if you don't want a crapshoot, don't invest in stocks in the first place.

If you know what you're doing, it isn't a crapshoot.

that's the big joke isn't it...

This whole medical malpractice reform thing is about expert investors getting f*cked. The insurance companies that have these high premiums are doing so because they invest 75% of their profits in the market. And last time I checked, it wasn't doing so hot. The average amount of payouts for lawsuits has only increased slightly in the past 4 years, yet the premiums the insurance companies are charging doctors have risen considerably.

This whole medical reform crap is not about excessive jury awards, its about a bunch of dumbass greed-driven insurance companies trying to make up for their own investing woes.

"If you know what you're doing, it isn't a crapshoot."

famous last words...
