just like many of our discussions here . not everything will apply yo everyone or even most , but if whatever we discuss helps someone then that is what it's about .

i hate the comments some post that try to find someone something does not apply , and tell you that you should have a note that it does not apply under this that and the other thing .

i do enough typing without adding all the exceptions to something .

Hahah - oh my! Back in the day when I subscribed to the print version I had no idea I was "peeking behind the first class curtain"!

it is no different than the financial forums . generally the bulk of those who frequent them have the means and interest in investing.

we all tend to migrate in to where our interest are . it is like i have no use or interest in frequenting 90% of the forums here .

I just retired and have no interest in working or studying something in college at this time. About the only thing that might change that would be a huge lottery win. At that point I would start taking classes in investing.
