Look, you want good investment - invest in some safe low growth high dividend equities and stick them in a drawer and forget about them. You want to try to score big? Sure, play the market, go to the dog track, buy a lottery ticket. Then shut the hell up, I don't want to hear your mystical, magic reasons about how you lost a boatload, or you blab how smart you were on the one in a hundred shot where you made a few bucks.
You want to MAKE MONEY? Get a job, you lazy bastard.
Uh... You wanna tell us again how you REALLY feel? This time with a little more emotion???
"stick them in a drawer and forget about them."
When I read this I stopped reading. There isn't any investment on the face of Gods green eath that should ever be forgotten about!
May you live to see the day you regret having written that. You can not tell others how to invest their money. You are not the arbiter of all manner of investing. Those of us who invest DO work -- what did you think we were doing, just sitting here reading what YOU write? Your depraved comment floated by in an otherwise steady stream of good information, and like the useless flotsam it is, was removed.
