Hey guys and gals,
I was posting because I thought I had something to say and there was
a lull in the packing process for my move to Charleston, SC
For the record , it is difficult to post in an environment that can
sometimes get hostile and to defend your good name you are almost
obligated to respond to detractors.This takes time and mental energy.
I believe I have earned my wings and when I or anyone else says
something you disagree with , please write that person back
personally instead of making an issue over what may be your faulty
conclusion.
I know a lot about a few things and a little about a lot of things.
My personal background includes:
1. Started investing in new issues at age 16 and also bought 5 acres
of land for $750 with my paper route money just outside of Atlantic
City which I recently sold.
2. I have been in oil, real estate , stock and coomodity ventures
over the past 45 years.
3. I was a practicing Chemist for 10 years [B.S. PCT&S] and invested
in stocks as a hobby and put RE partnerships together buying farms,
selling off the house and front lots.I worked on the first PVC pipe
and space age plastics.
4. I earned my M.B.A. from Drexel University and started my own
Securities firm. I was a millionaire for the first time when I was 28
and lost most of it by age 29 devoting too much time to wine , women
and travel. That is when I had a heart attack.
5. I recovered a little wiser, became a money lender and mail order
entrepreneur and went to Medical College 5 years later and then spent
5 more years studying and and Interning and becoming Board Certified
in Family Practice.
My wife and children ran the business.
6.While practicing I was offered founder stock in a company needing
medico/business background on the Board. I saw too many shenanigans
and sold out , a multi-millionaire again.
7. I founded my own company and took it public making it solid with
my own funds and then merged it with someone with a better idea.
8. I have also taken corporate shells public for the sole intention
of merging with operating companies. All the while I practiced good
solid medicine [no malpractice suits in over 20 years].
9. I was taken to the cleaners financially by my wife and two
children to whom I bear no anomosity even though the turmoil lasted 2
years.
10. I needed a geographic mental health relocation and landed in
South Carolina in 1995 with the best position I ever had...36 hour
week, no hospital or weekend call and a salary plus earned bonus of
close to $200,000 per year. For the first time in my life I could go
practice , eat , sleep and drink commodities and security nuances for
the past 6 years.I have dozens of useable systems and methods that
run and dry up. I am always on the look out for my own methodology
imporovement or to utilize another's in a mutually satisfactory way.
Financially I am sitting pretty as many of you may or may not made
the travail yet.I certainly wish all of you well.
I make no apologies for my background what I did and how I got
there.What I do resent is the cockiness and arrogance of people who
think everything I write is BS or shilling or whatever their pet
peeve is...plus I know nothing about them that makes them experts.
I am a young 61 and have a 40 year old wife and do not have time to
deal with the upcoming crap that always is drummed up on this list
and only less worse than Omega.I can see the Quants of this list in
the background and do not want to play...post...be
attacked...defend...post...over and over.
To The Point I would rather communicate with whoever wants to do so
on an as needed basis bilaterally rather than post....and that is
where I think the most prolific past posters I recall who are not
here are currently doing.
I have a solid investment portfolio and come to this list to share
ideas on the weaker link right now, speculative S&P. I just like to
win whatever money game I am playing. Spec S&P was a biggy for me
last year when out of securities monitoring.
Thanks for your time and patience if you got to the end.
With much appreciation from all I have learned from the real
Realtraders I still recognize on this list and those who sit back now
or have moved on for whatever reason,
John
