Can I share crop part of your spread?

 

Is misanthropic an adjective....as well as the noun misanthrope

What a great word....right up there with pariah (mariah's father) !!

What I learned over the years is that financial advisors (especially those who work for brokerage firms or other financial institutions) will always tell you to trade -- whether it is to buy or sell. The reason is that they make their money on the trades, their first priority is their own pocket and not your money. So as long as you trade, they are happy; whether you make money on the trade is your problem.

if you went on a camping vacation this week with no connection to the outside world and just checked the Dow, it is almost the same as last Friday's close.

 

I hope people pay attention to what you pointed out. It's a very good point.
