@averagejoe1 saidI'm not sure if you're aware of this, but rich people are not guaranteed a profit.
You make good point, but kkunfortunatlehy this subject is an example of an imperfect society. i.e, you suggest that 'people have a say in the matter'.

@averagejoe1 saidYou to have irrationally latched on to the 3 down and 7 up scenario joe did you read it in a work of fiction or non fiction.
Sure. The key ia diversifying. (BTW, it is close to moving day )
YOu see, the rich guy makes 10 investments, hedging bets, whatever you want to call it, and 3 of them fail. Ahh, but the other 7!!!!!!!

@kevcvs57 saidYou exhibit no common knowledge of diversifying? Can you not comment on the subject instead of going personal? Why do screaming meeemie libs go personal all the time. Why, our readers will forget the issue.

Didn't read it. My 7 year old knows it inside out and told me to put it in this thread. Since diversification is a time-worn fact, how can it be fiction?
