Thanks, but the banter is fun. But tell you what, let’s cease and desist with all this “betting” talk in general. I’m pretty sure davelj put it out there mostly as a metaphor anyway (although I’m sure he’d really take the bet!)
Most of this talk of real betting on real markets is speculation pure and simple. I didn’t think it was a great idea for the average dude with stocks. I don’t think it was great with real estate. And I don’t think it’s great in general.
Gold, futures markets, inverse indices, oil, currencies. I don’t think many of the folks here are really betting or planning to really bet anything on them (nor should they be).
