Apparently I've been bragging about my good fortune; I didn't mean to brag.

I have what I consider a huge responsibility - my dad had looked after my mother (and vice versa) for 63.5 years when he died last year. My mother can't look after herself now as she has been paralysed for going on 5.5 years.

I felt totally deflated last year after my father had paid for me to go on a wonderful cruise in September with my fiancee AFTER I'd abandoned both my parents in June (I couldn't cope seeing my dad getting weaker every day and after 2.5 years I decided I had to get back my own life).

My dad died in August. We went on the cruise in September. When I returned I saw the investments my dad had carefully built up over 35 years of retirement going down the proverbial plughole.

I knew hardly anything about investments. I know hardly anything about investments now, but a lot more than I did six plus months ago!

I'm delighted to have not only made back a huge amount of the investment losses on paper but also managed to increase the income that my mother needs to pay for carers etc.

I apologise if I came over as being big-headed; I am just very happy that my mother, at least for the time being, can stay in the villa she loves instead of being put away in a home where, under normal circumstances, she'd be!

So - apologies to those I gave the impression that I am big-headed...... I am really quite an insecure person and have been working as hard as I can to at least gain some financial security.

The fact that I have found somebody special in my life is worth far more to me than any fortune, but obviously I want the best for her as well.......... if she's doing 'ok' why should I drag her down to my level, if I decide to give up on life and become a 'no-hoper'?

I got attacked for coming over as a cry baby for looking after my parents and it seems I am also in the wrong if I come over as 'I'm ok Jack or Jill - 'f' you!'

NEITHER is the truth!

I'm just a human being with many of the problems (and also joys) that other human beings have!

Brunette!

She sure scared the crap out of me! laugh

Sommerauer71: The minute one responds, you are allowing the bully to disrespect you.

Thanks for that Rusty, I am pleased you are here.


Being serious for a moment...... I have had female friends who have been stalked.

They have answered the tepephone to these stalking a**hole........... very hard to do, I admit, but if you ignore somebody long enough they lose interest and move on to another victim.

You are SO RIGHT - respond and you give the person what they want and they just carry on...ignore them and eventually they piss off and leave you alone! thumbs up

For goodness sake, rusty. Brag away. Here I sit, waiting for you to start that group on making money, wealth creation, etc. When are you starting it. Stop apologising and start the group.

I did a one day course of a particular trading system and I really want to start to trade it, as it was over a year ago.Now I have to go back to the folder of notes, contact the company and so on. But do it, I must.

And I am dying to pick your brain on this subject as I want to stop or greatly reduce my conventional work. I have mentioned it elsewhere.

I just don't think most people are interested.

I'd be delighted to share thoughts on strategy and how the market works and how to hopefully be right more times than wrong, but I just get the feeling that people are genuinely not interested - so why should I bother? dunno

I even rang up a guy in the UK who is a very successful trader in shares to get his opinion, but he admitted he never traded in bonds and didn't know anybody who did....... so even a successful trader isn't interested!

Anyway, April is over and I'm now even I'm not interested in making any deals this month as I am concentrating on the charity lunch auction on 24th May.

I could give you a few tips on what I consider to be excellent value deals right now, but I've done all my investing until June.

I don't think it would be worth starting an investors group to exchange ideas and tips for just two people though...........

This is true, Sommer.

Sometimes, however, the response to whatever the interchange, is instant. It then may take a short while to dust oneself off.

Thanks rusty. I am more looking for inspiration than tips. The trading system I will be using has more than tips. It will give me specific choices of the top 5 blue chip companies for that month based on their back tested strategies. All I do is select which one, and the amount for that trade.

I will be contacting the firm this week, so I am using my own source of inspiration, and I guess that's the most important.

Thank you, though. It is amazing that no-one else except us, is picking up an opportunity to even at least discuss our own progress/attempts. It's not about having to divulge top market 'secrets'. Oh, well.dunno

thumbs up wine comfort

touching.......so there is more to you than piss-taking ?
insecurity is no bad thing anyway.......think of many famous actors
( as just one example ) that aren't ?
we all act different roles whether we know it or not .....
hey, that sounds a bit deep for me !
