yo fly you like the idea of moving stocks and having the IRS watch every move and want every penny of your success? With stocks you r $$ is tied up and locked in long term. Not something I want to do.. In addition you like the fact that odds on stocks in the past year are much worse than your odds betting on a Mariners game? Yes I hear all the bullshit, :its a long term investment" well it sure better be cause short term its crap. Short term its gambling in itself, its worse than gambling.

Fuck that! Id rater put my money on a 3 hour game that the Mariners play than put $$ in a soild company stock like Intel, Cisco, yahoo, or any other tech company just to watch it go down more and tell everyone I got it for a long term holding.. Its all fucking junk.. The economy hasnt seen "Bad" yet, the worse is yet to come. The dow is still over 10,000 so it is hardly a bad economy.. The economy is more in a correction, puting people in their place.. The market has yet to go bad, you will see what bad is in the not so short future.

Fuck the market... Ive lost soo much in the market, and when I made $$ the IRS were bitches about it.. It takes a long time to make $$ in the market, it locks up your funds, and it is a nice flag to the IRS, and it is not a good bet in this economy to invest at this time..

So whats the answer? Gambling. High Stakes Sports wagering. How is this any different from what the Day traders were doing 2 years ago? The only difference is day trading is dead and not making money and sports gambling has better odds and return than any stock at this time.
