<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1355640, member: 22143&quot;]Rather to address the point made, you choose instead to make the issue about me.&nbsp; This is a tactic used when one can&#039;t come up with a logical argument.&nbsp;&nbsp; What I have posted are simple facts.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyone can go and look up what has happened with MF Global, anyone can go and look at the complete lack of enforcement of existing rules and regulations, anyone can go and look up that BAC, for example lied about their balance sheet, anyone can go and lookup any host of items that make it impossible to judge risk.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe you feel different, but I want to know about ALL the risks when I make an investment.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been said over and over to do the due diligence about any investment.&nbsp; What I have posted is part of that due diligence because the stock market ONLY exists if rules and regulations are being enforced fairly.&nbsp; The prudent investor can either choose to look into it or stick their head in the sand and simply keep repeating &quot;stocks are good, stocks are good, etc etc&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; If they do look into it, and feel they can live with it then fine that is their decision. That isn&#039;t the point.&nbsp;&nbsp; The point being made by me and others in this topic is that because of what has happened, TODAY&#039;s stock market is not the one from decades past and this nonsense about &quot;stocks have been historically good&quot; is worthless advice moving forward.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One more time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[highlight]Past performance is not an indicator of future gains[/highlight][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
