premature ejaculate much?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

I doubt many here even have 5k to invest

markets for the rich

middle class get chewed alive

of course. i never heard an average joe becoming rich from the market.

all i have to say is if you get 10-12% roi, you're considered a superstar fund manager.

in sports betting world, that's considered treading water...

Find me a guy consistently getting 10-12% ROI on anything and I will retire tomorrow. I don't think that is treading water anywhere - if you can really get that kind of return you would be instant millionaire. Cost of borrowing money is less than 10% for most and you would easily be able to service the debt and constantly re-invest and principal. You would be very rich if you can find anything that consistently pays 12%

[recon1]

These huge swings in market is not an indication of volatility, it's a sure sign of how strong this market really is!

Why has national debt been frozen? Nonetheless, Double up and get some!

Do not be a pussy, Jump all in and getcha some!

you're missing my point. most sports bettors deposit $100 or so. are you telling me they'd be happy with making $10 in a year? heck they wouldn't even be happy with 100% roi.

in order for 10-12% roi to make it count, you have to have a lot of money. hence, this only matters for the rich.

stock market profits are taxed heavily

sports are not

Ha - right - I get your point for sure - that is gambling vs. investing and i would agree. The problem is with gambling, for most their return is -100% or something close to that, so in your head you feel in order to be successful you need to be +1000% at some point to make up for it.

Use your fukkin head once in awhile.

still WAYY too high.
get out while you can.

[Ralphie Halves]

If I was going to make a ten cent prediction too, we will need a retracement, a few smaller up days in a row, to restore confidence in investors and shake out the weaker shorts before really taking it down further. Look for that very set-up if a recession does start to happen.
