I could ask the guys on the trading floor for their opinion, but I don't think I have to. I guess I should have specified "Investing in the stock market to make money" as opposed to just "The stock market". I didn't know there was a different way to look at it though. Perhaps that explains some things. Throughout the 90s I wondered how "everyone" was winning. Now I see there is a whole other segment. I wondered who was losing.

(getting OT) Funny, I was under the impression the stock market was about stock. If I am not mistaken when you buy stock you are buying a piece of the company - therefore, you are saying "I like what this company is doing I am going to give them money so they can do what they are doing some more." - weather you mean to or not. It has become a Las Vegas type institution where most don't care where their "vote" is going, but it goes none-the-less. Thank you for your good luck wishes, but from the tone of your reply, I think you will need the luck more then I will.

That's the first rule of investing. Buying or selling stocks based on any other ideas is just silly. Good luck with that.

Well, welcome to America where you vote means nothing unless there is an amount of money tied to it. I buy stocks in companies where I like their business practices, think they have good products, and approve of how they treat their staff. Sometimes I loose money, often I make money. Because in the end how you run your business is how you wind up being treated - in this world or the next. I disapprove of a lot of Microsoft's business practices, and I think they are an ethically bad company. They make money - yes - but that is all they do. Plus I sleep *really* well. ALL IMHO as it is my funny green pieces of paper that we have put value on. (If you think it's all about the money - I pity you) Rob -----Original Message----- From: Cantrell, Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 9:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: MS CF? Why would you sell it? I'm no Wall St. slickster, but wouldn't you make out well if you were suddenly in possession of $54 MS stock in exchange for your $11 MM shares? > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Rohan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 11:32 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: MS CF? > > > Ha, from the Robertson-Ravo news source :) > > Guess now I *don't* have to sell my Macromedia stock, whew! > > Rob > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 9:04 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: MS CF? > > > its not > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Rohan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 23 December 2002 17:07 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: MS CF? > > > Please tell me this isn't true. > > Rob > > http://treebeard.sourceforge.net > http://ruinworld.sourceforge.net > Scientia Est Potentia > > -----Original Message----- > From: Len Conrad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 2:07 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: MS CF? > > > http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/28667.html > > > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
