Whatever my tone, it’s intended to stirr up debate… but I will take repsonsibilty for it if it seems personal or insane. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions to you.
Almost 100% of milk cartons expire worthless… Unless you like drinking homemade curds.. I’d rather try and drink my milk long before the expiration… I don’t even feel comfortable drinking it a day before it expires! How many cars expire worthless? I don’t want to own a car when it expires.. how many people keep their car until it stops working? At least with options you know when the expiration is, and you can get away from them before that 90% period… sure maybe it’s hard to get away from them being down 25-50-75%.. but I am willing to cut my losses and try again. I definitely don’t want to own something that’s ‘expired’.
For the most part these aren’t options that I’ve picked out either.. like I’ve said, hopefully enough, I have been following Zeal’s reccomendations. Picking which to invest in, is sort of an art that I don’t have the time for with a job in another profession. Though, the FRO options that I bought&sold had 450-something%(.6->3.30) return were ones that I picked out… I’m going to call it beginners luck for now though! Because, I know in investing it’s not really about where you were or have been, more so where you end up, or down 😉
