For some reason, I'm okay with losing money on my own. I take it as a learning experience. However, I obviously expect better results when I pay other people to manage my money. If they can't deliver the goods, I might as well do it myself and save the management fees! Nancy, thanks so much for dropping by!

After 2 disastrous experiences with, ahem, The Experts, I started making my own stock picks 15 years ago. A few mistakes, but at least I knew what was going on, and on balance, I've streaked past any 8 - 12% annual increase. Cheers to you for your Do It Yourself choices. 2 thumbs up for making your own gutsy decisions and “fie!” on anyone who feels entitled to make commentary … esp., when I’m betting half the commentators couldn’t tell you what stocks are in their portfolios!

I don't like people like that, too. Just because they read a couple of MSN money articles they think they can give advice and tell me what to do. I like this post. I don’t like people like that, too.

I agree we should no more, and I think people don't realize that even a little knowledge will help them talk more sensibly to their financial advisor if they have one.
