Portfollio Recomendation for Aggressive Investor

Ray Zee · #1 11-05-2005, 12:46 AM

you do your aggressive investing in poker. with that money invest conservatively. buy individual stocks you know something about.
soon you will have your own mutual fund without expenses and someone churning the stocks for political reasons to attract more investors using your money for advertising.
buy some realestate. and invest in a business you control and are willing to do some work and one thats enjoyable to you.
thats the way to make it.
good luck.

Ray,

Being a TAG in poker and investing is far more lucrative than being weak tight or worse, in both cases.

This advice is too generic. The idea is to get very good at something and stick with it. Those who do well are those who wholeheartedly enjoy what they're doing.

to OP: posting your current holdings on this board isn't prudent. like anything else you've got to get your hands dirty.

Exactly what concerns do you have about someone doing this?
(assuming he uses common sense with regards to the answers he gets)

common sense being an important factor here. More importantly, what's important is the OP isn't being lazy and hoping for golden advice or things of that nature.
