This shocked me considering Pete saw the hurricane. I guess its safe to say its one thing to see a hurricane coming and another thing to prepare for the hurricane. My point in bringing up the video is to show how if your not part of the "herd", you basically are not taken seriously.

You hit the NAIL on the head! I have recommended the book The Intelligent Investor to many friends and none have read it. So many people want the fish handed to them but do not want to learn how to catch the fish-including Wall Streets little club.I think history will keep repeating itself. Alex.
