There's the commission to take into account as well and bear in mind that there
is cheating. A Microsoft exec (VP?) got caught stealing money from investor
last week (inside trading).
The stock market is like a casino. Only the few who end up making a buck will

About trolls: do not reply to them. The only ones that get filtered or ignored
are those who come here to fight /against/ Linux. When you feed them, you
encourage their participation and implicitly endorse their behaviour.
