Shamelessly bumping this to the top of the message board AND gratuitously hot linking to a hot winking babe....





...for the express purpose of keeping Kiplinger posters away from here.

They are the "classic" daytraders playing stocks like a flea market swap meet with YOUR money!

Here is a very good PDF book called "The Mystery of Banking" by Murray N. Rothbard:

If you want to learn about money, this is a must read.

Did you read "The richest man from Babylon?" It's a great book with great and simple advice to take and great stories to make you understand money better.

Where did you get these? I'm assuming you didn't just make them up.

I would like to know where they came from as well. I agree with them 100% unfortunately a lot of the world, and especially America, goes against them all completely.

cipixul, hit the nail on the head!

Those simple financial truths came from the book,
The Richest Man in Babylon.

It's too bad the United States gubment doesn't understand how money works.

Here's USA gubment finance in three (3) easy steps:

#1) Tax and spend more money than you receive;

#2) Borrow more money to pay for your excess spending;

#3) Print more money to pay the interest on your debt.

Repeat, ad nauseam.

Then they wonder why their money isn't worth the paper it's printed on!
