Busted as usual, neal. Have you no shame?

Oh, I think I get it now. I think you know nothing
about dividends and perhaps think I should be
cashing out now instead of quibbling about 100
points? Also, you know nothing about tax consequences
of selling stocks all at once. Can you say capital gains?
Can you say Federal Income Tax? Bwahahahahahahh!
You know nothing about money. One holds onto stocks
and collects dividends as long as stocks are healthy.
One strives to buy low and sell high. One shelters as much
money as possible in tax deferred plans. One invests in
tax-free bonds, etc. as much as possible and one shelters
the cash-out in annuities, etc. until one is 62 where one
then sets up a plan that enables one to pay taxes in the
lowest tax bracket. One patronizes off-shore banks like
Barclays in the Bahamas.

That amounts
to 200K which has grown to about 400K over the ten-
year period.


Only 400K at your age? Good god. My father retired with 9 times that. Proof
that this country still suffers. Suzanne and I have made just under 400K in 17
months and she's not working at the moment.

RB

Even if you're telling the truth (which would be the first
time) there is a BIG difference between what you made
and what you invested. Most Americans save and invest
only paltry amounts.

I've got a feeling if you made as much money as you
claimed last year you would not be so proud of a
dry box holding four cheap nav instruments.

I'm only "proud" of the reaction I can get with such a picture!

Capt RB

You should pity the likes of Donal and Scotty instead
of always humiliating them. After all Scotty is a hillbilly
whose best possession is an old, rusty, pick-up truck and
Donal's wife doesn't let him do anything but work to
pay for car insurance rates that are through the roof . . .

If that were true, you'd be living aboard a Swan 57, cruising the oceans,
and wouldn't be talking to any of us. The reality is, you live aboard a boat
that is worth only slightly more than the '96 Ranger in my driveway, the
"beater" I drive to work.

So, if that's the case, what the hell were you talking about
when you said "when the DOW is around 10K"? And, it's
already been "bouncing around 10K for several months."
What next fool?

The DOW closed today at around 9.9K. That final
100 points will take several months to get there
and stay there. There will be ups and downs as
is the nature of the market. I think you will see
the DOW bouncing around 10K for several months.

You ninnie. The DOW is already around 10K.
Obviously, you have nothing and don't even
follow the market.

Don't worry. What we are experiencing, probably through
2004, is what is called a 'cyclical bull' market. I think we're
still in a long-term bear market that will show up again after
the 2004 elections probably about Jan 2005 after interest
rates start going up again with the specter of inflation.

Stocks may be 'overvalued' but I think they still have
plenty of upside to go. I'm expecting to cash out all my
stocks sometime in 2004 when the DOW is around 10K or
more.

I'm at the point where I cannot afford to gamble on
stocks much longer so I'm positioned to move into bonds,
fixed annuities, treasuries etc. I hope to hit it just right
so I get in on the upside of the interest curve.

Yes, sir, the economy has really remained in the crapper!

Hmmm you have invested wisely, obviously with a good spread of
startups to get that kind of growth in 12 months.
Keep a close eye Cappy, many analysts are pointing to this being an
unsustainablegrowth.
