JayBoy that's fantastic. Don't forget to budget for your sleeping partner's 40%.

Louisg, now you sound like my grandmother. I gave her R200 when we went into the casino, by the end of the night when we left she came out clutching a R150. Elated, she kept bragging to everyone that she'd won!

Wena, say you go to the casino on a Thursday (with your nana)and lose R100 and went back on the Friday(hopefully without your nana this time) and you won R150. Question. Would you consider yourself a winner or loser on the Friday?

Forget gambling.The top40 has been green for three days in a row.Statistically there is a good chance of it being red tomorrow.Put all your money on red.

So it's just a "paper loss" then. Hmmm, so it only becomes a REAL loss when you sell? Is that how you view it?

well you are claiming to have made a killing last week...did you sell? If not you made jack, diddly squat, nadda, nothing...the market only rewards you when you sell. The question of how my long term porti is doing, is simple its making money as every company still continues to pay a divdend.

JayBoy, I only asked about your long term portfolio so as to confirm that you do invest for the long term. With all your rantings and ravings about long term investing I figured you were against long term investing. I recall you saying it's for the "unambitious".
