Twenty years ago I started investing 20% of my salary into various investment vehicles. I also spent whatever I could on developing and educating myself into a marketable entity. My investment philosophy has not changed radically, but I have a greater understanding, and have sometimes paid heavily for the experience gained. May the next twenty years be as good, if not better.

day traded the alsi and never took out money from the account. 18 months later can trade up to 60 contracts when i started with 5. The power of compounding and gap plays. Thanks to this forum, the like of john, Chartist and their posts.

I have noticed that no one actually sold a business for big big bucks and used the money to start investing. Oh and who of you believe in Suzi ormans retirement advice, cos apparantly ppl over 55 should not even be in the stock market (they doint have enough time to recover from market dips)

Only 7" Simba - that's either dissapointing or you being honest. I would have gone for at least a god solid 9" on this site. Chartist would have approved.
