I am still here. I just never invested in stocks. I have quite a few friends who have and many are sad now. One real good friend lost $200,000 in the market and I dare not mention the stock market to him. I know, many people have got rich investing in stocks. Timing is everything and I kind of seem what was coming in the middle of 2007. Kind of like telling if you have a full house of two pair when playing poker. I call it gut feeling.Good timing, how did you do during the previous 23 years?
I know I am not the smartest person when it comes to investing money but I do consider myself a good money manager. In 1990 I bought $100,000 worth of US treasuries that came due in 1997. I had the checks sent to me. I took those checks and sent my Son to college (Auburn University) and never once touched my $100,000. I guess you can say the government sent my Son to college. I wish those rates were available today.
The CD's are not all the net worth I have. I also own real-estate and a little gold, some guns and lots of ammo. I just try to stay healthy and if I had to look at a stock ticker everyday my blood pressure would rise
