My advice is that anything that Chicken Little is in favoring of doing, DONT, and anything that IMP is opposed to doing, at least give it a good look. lol
"Never investing your own money" when you are a peon with no other options is the worst advice, with the possible exception of actually buying anything that Chicken Little is touting, that I can think of.
and do you SERIOUSLY think that anyone is going to believe that you were just "passing by" a local PF Changs and decided to look up their history, and then conveniently noticed a thread on TER about investing??? My gawd, you are becoming as dishonest as the Three Stooges of P&R; BLRPOS, BFSF and LTM&L.
For the record, people have gotten rich by investing their own money. It's the number one way people get rich in this country, including investing in their own ventures of course.
I will concede that after years on the P&R board listening to such financial geniuses as the aforementioned three stooges, along with other idiots like Annoying Fungus, Willy Wonka and of course yourself. I find it hard to imagine that a financial board would have any more stimulating conversation than what we now find on P&R
