Grogan,
in case you missed it before,
Oprano is not a newbs board, Oprano is old timers board and oldtimers have much more concern about capital preservation than capital appreciation.
It's a different crowd you got used to on the other boards,
crowd with specific interests which you being not the part of just don't get it.
You completelly failed to take in concideration,
that we are NOT talking about $20,000 portfolios of uts,
the problem some of us face is "Where to park the money in the times of uncertainty"? NONE of us fully invested at any given moment and have money on the side which are waiting their turn.
And for those money, 2.5% return with no risk whatsoever is an excelelnt return.
Talking about risk....50% return on my entire porfolio will have lesser effect on me than 50% loss. You can afford to lose 50% of your porfolio, us...we can't.
when you take everything what's said in this post in concideration,
you understand clearly how ridiculous you are this morning.
