Thanks man. It's a lot more motivating when there's such a great community to back me and talk to. I'll have to hang on to that quote.

The principles of successful stock speculation are based on the supposition that people will continue in the future to make the mistakes that they have made in the past.

I'd also like to add this FW: msg I received today. I think it is fitting to your quote as well.

So what have we learned in 2,064 years ?

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC

Evidently nothing

Happy Trading,

We go to the movies to be entertained, not see rape, ransacking, pillage and looting. We can get all that in the stock market.

Hey Doc,

What's most interesting to me is that I believe all of these problems to be inherent in the system we have in place. Its all a part of the development of society, and the only way to stop it is government intervention initiated by the people, but you see that is one of the problems with true democracy, the ignorant and uneducated masses are supposed to tell the educated and elite what they may and may not do. Naturally the elite and educated will use their connections and smarts to undermine the will of the people to serve their own interests, and this is where public debt and the like come in, because as long as their have been economies there have been private entities attempting to gain control over currency. Indeed the fall of rome was not a military fall, but a financial fall, and it would never have grown to it's size and stature if it were not always in its destiny to fall from this.

A man must believe in himself if he is going to make a living at this game. That is why I don't believe in tips. If I buy stocks on Smith's tip I must sell those same stocks on Smith's tip. Suppose Smith is away on vacation when the selling comes around? No sir, nobody can make big money on what someone else tells him to do. I know from experience that nobody can give me a tip that will make more money for me than my own judgment. It took me five years to play the game intelligently enough to make big money when I was right.

Historical price patterns continue to work because human nature doesn't change, and neither does the law of supply and demand. Study past successful stocks if you want to see what future ones will like.
