There is so much tension and nervousness on the AVQ threads.
In other words meaning, EXCITEMENT!
There is no certainty in any ones posts, and the future can be anything (exciting). Win or loose, it's been an exciting investment.

AVQ will not lay down - so let's have belief in our investment, makes it much more exciting (heck, it's been excitement that has kept SO many of us around over the years IMO)…


If you invest $1,000 in a stock, all you can lose is $1,000, but you stand to gain $10,000 or even $50,000 over time if you're patient.
The average person can concentrate on a few good companies, while the fund manager is forced to diversify. By owning too many stocks, you lose this advantage of concentration.
It only takes a handful of big winners to make a lifetime of investing worthwhile.

In every industry and every region of the country, the observant amateur can find great growth companies long before the professionals have discovered them.


If you can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money into the bank until you discover some.

Never invest in a company without understanding its finances.
The biggest losses in stocks come from companies with poor balance sheets.
Always look at the balance sheet to see if a company is solvent before you risk your money on it.
