[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2799906, member: 19250"]Besides today's standards Ken aren't the ones we grew up with..... what most don't understand is that like other things of "Value" there's a market and those whom control that market are the ones making the money. I am glad to be at this point in life....enjoying a hobby for over 50 years. Yes have made a few good buys and sells. I also have screwed up lost or broke even....that's life. But at this point I am content with the ride....no need to super size it....no need to keep up with the Jones. When it's all said and done ya can't take it with you! So appreciate what ya have now,enjoy the ride, as one never knows when or where the road will end. If you want a career in investment go to school get a degree ,then hang it on your wall....as unless you got street smarts that degree ain't worth the paper it's printed on. Experience is the key to success the next is understanding your downfalls learning from them, and know that more is learned and retained from mistakes then triumphs. They are short lived life experiences ......Like the day I scored the hat trick in a LaCrosse game in 1972 that was top of the mark. Today just a memory .[/QUOTE]
