    I can't lie. I've been in and out of the stock market for a few years. Some good times, some bad. I did learn to keep it out when I'm either not going to pay attention to it or there's nothing I see going to happen. I'll pop in when there is something I feel is going to turn into a good opportunity, though.

    Trying to hit tops and bottoms will only set you up for failure. I just don't have the trust in anything but myself to leave money anywhere. Like I said, it'll have to be something big and obvious to me.

    As far as Jody's metrics, I'm pretty well situated within the parameters, but I do constantly think it isn't enough. I think those are low numbers. I saw what happened to some honest working, conservative spending and responsible savers in the busts during 2000 and 2008.

    The money I make isn't just mine. Too many people depend on it.

      Fyi, those aren't mine - those are commonly-used, general guidelines.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          I put all my money in Med-Patent, on the advice of my broker at JT Marlin.

              I got the benchmark covered as far as income versus net invested. My job just adjusted their 401k match back to the pre-recession level of 6% and needless to say I am getting all that sweet ass free money too.

                I'll post up bank receipts worth more than that 6% match, liar!

                  I put 8% and employer matches 6, small IRA and some misc stocks I was gifted when I was little. Unfortunately I had to sell a few ounces of gold to pay books/tuition back in 05.

                        401k and that's it. I'd like to invest in some stocks within my company but don't know jack shit.

                              Derivatives count, you should still answer "yes".

                                Al will be COWering under his desk, come margin call time.

                                He just thought the sound of "naked" short sales and cow skin sounded like fun.
