Reply #35: How much sleep per night did you get while earning that degree? [View All]

[cornermouse]

My brother got about 3 hours sleep per night while working his way to get his masters. Can you do that? Well guess what. I can't.

I looked at his master's thesis and had no idea what it was about. On the other hand, there are things that I can do that he can't. Why do I bring this up? Because you're assuming that everyone has the same abilities, thinks the same, basically are the same. That's simply not true. You're also assuming that we're supposed to be supervising our stocks in somewhere between working, taking care of children, taking care of things at home, checking up on parents, grocery shopping, and everything else that pops up daily. Cannot be done. Don't have the time. Don't have the energy.

Something I'm starting to wonder about lately is whether the influx of all this money to buy stocks from us little people would turn out to be cover for the wealthy to sell their American stocks to us and put it somewhere else before things turn sour. The fact is, our economy is not healthy and that's not a good thing for stock investments.

Basically, if you want to lose your money by putting it in the stock market, go ahead. Just don't try to take anyone else down with you. I'm not buying into the get rich quick scenario. That's what fools do.
