Thanks for swinging by! Can we be friends? Great! (hoping you said yes). I'm a giver and like to help my friends. There are two ways I can help you. First, your info page mentions: "This Blog contains... investment advice for...:"  Strike the word "advice" and replace it with "information."  In addition, you and I both need : a footer with something about the "Advisers Act" provided for in Section 202(a)(11)(D). This exemption is available for the publisher of any "bona fide financial publication of general and regular circulation."    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Second: Mutual funds always have been and always will be a massive rip off because they underperform their relative indices 95% of the time (due to 12-b-1 fees). That is why ETF's were invented (right after the Gardner brothers testified before The House of Reps about the above disparity (in 1996, I think). Young investors should invest in investing education (takes another 4 years of actual trading personal savings at SCREW U [aka NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.] after a degree in anything).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;K bro. That's it. Can you help me get some traffic? :-)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">1modelcitizen</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 20:34:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Two Depression-Proof Stock Exchanges ($CIB)</title><link>http://www.ticktalklive.com/2008/11/17/two-depression-proof-stock-exchanges-cib/#comment-5733524</link><description>The house always wins.

It reminds me of a story my Dad always told about my 3rd or 4th cousin who was a pit boss in Reno... When my dad asked him how he felt about taking money from a guy who should be spending it on his kids shoes and what not, he simply replied- "If I don't take his money, the casino down the road will" &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On a more serious note, I think we all need to spend more time investing in our only real wealth, Body Mind and Soul. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get smart! let us put shingles on our homes in heaven. The stock exchanges are nothing more than a pimple on the buttocks of human history. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The one constant with man kind is this: Give us enough time and we will destroy any thing that god gives us that is good... Then we go beg for his help to re-build, and he has mercy on us so we can start a new.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">DD</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:30:52 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
