<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1352890, member: 15199&quot;]This is of course an obvious statement, but few follow it. Some do not have the reading and analytical ability to look at the internals of a company ( or a commodity supply/demand ) and be able to see future directions more reliably than someone who just listens to biased predictions from those who feel they are blessed with &quot;vision&quot;. Most wait until something is hot~ Housing , stocks,bonds, Yen, silver,gold,platinum~ and then jump in, without knowing why those were hot and what factors can change it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some do not have the inclination to do the studies, basically they are just lazy, and will be susceptible to scammers and schemes. How can one determine if a stock or sector is poised for gains if you don&#039;t know their debt, cash flow, AP/AR, etc. All of this is available in SEC documents. There are software platforms that can do much for you, if you are really interested. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some attach their finances and beliefs to certain bias of political or even religious rhetoric, rather than the current market.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, one stock I own, a REIT, I purchased at 16.00 (approx). a couple of years ago, and currently it is about the same ( 16.50) It has varied up and down a couple of bucks during that time, but it has also returned about 14% interest each year. I realize that changing interest rates and real estate legislation can alter that, but I feel there will be a sufficient time to re-evaluate at that time. I appreciate the study income into my accounts. So anyone who is just depending on interest from bank accounts and CDs are not looking for other situations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have both stocks and precious metal interests, and wish the best to all, but knowledge is the key for numismatics as well as investing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ha, you beat me, and with a better post <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
