Re: Hi from Dallas

Oh and for what its worth, Cramer would fit into the "silly efficient market theory trader" type. So don't get too hyped up about him. Here's how I get the most out of Cramer:

- Turn the sound off (closed caption on)
- Turn the cramer off (something else on)

:biggrin:

Re: Hi from Dallas

Wow, thanks for taking the time to post such a thoughtful answer, Justin.

btw, where are you in Northwest Missouri? I spent the summers at Big Lake just north of Mound City...

Re: Hello Everyone!

Hmm I might have a personal project to speak with you about in the near future. I've been looking for someone to print off a few high-res images in as rediculously large format as possible. I'm talking enough to cover the side of a house haha!

Haven't been investing long at all really. My dad took me to a get motivated seminar just over a year ago and I got really fired up about investing. I started reading everything I could get my hands on - total information overload you know? Somewhere in that 3 or 4 month timespan I got ahold of Phil's book and it all started to click. I thought it would be pretty cool to have some 50 or 100 other "Rule #1" value investors that I could share ideas with. Little did I know how quickly the thing would explode into what it has. The philsophy is reaching so many people and having a dramatic impact on the way they look at the market. It's validating to know that we aren't alone and that yes, this stuff really does make sense!

See you on the boards!

Hello

Hello everyone, I have worked for a major electrical utility for 34 years and I'm retiring at age 55, I've always invested through retirement/pension plans and have always been fascinated by the market and trying to play the game. Rule #1 was like the skies opening up for me and finding this forum was the same. As with most things, it is still going to be hard work but with the book and this forum, I can at least see the path. Looking forward to it.
