Shedagal Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 @yendorwhy are you labeled a lopster? I thought lopsters couldn't post anywhere but the lopster tank. In response to your question, I think mature investors who have been in this for a while don't fall for date and rate rumors. It will happen when it happens. 2 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it will happen one day but I will be honest in saying i am getting a little impatient. 🙂 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will happen when it happens. I have no idea how I got tagged with that lopster label..... I certainly do not believe the LOP theory. As for the second part, I have read many "mature investors" getting exctted about almost ANY news out of Iraq that looks somewhat promising. Myself, I have always felt that this investment was "too good to be true", BUT (and an important but) if it DID happen, I didn't want to have to say, "IF ONLY......". So, I bought just enough to be glad I did, and not enough to be sorry that I didn't pass on this "OPPORTUNITY"...... And I have stated this MANY times. Maybe that is where I got tagged with the lopster label. If that is what constitutes a lopster, then I guess that I am a lopster. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posts seem to be discouraging. Your right to post, of course. I think this thread was meant to stir up discontent from members. I know some who feel the way you do who have put their dinar in a safe place and have moved on with their lives not needing to get mired in the muck. They have made sure they are reachable when things change. I remember years ago when going through a rough patch, someone wisely told me to shift my focus. I would advise you to do the same. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just where would you suggaest an 83 year old to shift his focus? This is entertaining to me. I am merely stating the obvious and that is this RV may or not happen and if it DOES, there is no guarantee that it will be anything NEAR what the gurus are speaking of. We all hope that this will be a dream come true, but the truth is, dreams sometimes become a nightmare if one lets it get the best of him or her. Myself, I like to think that I am grounded enough and been around long enough to know that things aren't always as they seem. If you have a problem with that, then that is your problem. I would LOVE for this to happen, like everyone else. But won't be a basket case if it doesn't 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge watch a favorite TV series. Reach out to people in your church that could benefit from someone with 83 years of experience. Just a few examples. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, I volunteer at our veteran's museum as a docent..... Much more benefical than deading or watching TV, but thanks for the advice. I am fine with my stage of life......... By the way, when you get to this age, I hope that you will have the energy to do the things that I do. Believe me, it isn't easy. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father passed at 86 but kept active and was a joyful person - very close to God. Another person I greatly admire is Kenneth Copeland. He just turned 85 and is still traveling and doing services. The Bible says our youth is renewed like the eagles. I speak that over myself daily. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oldest cousin is 98 and our great grandfather died at 115 (rode horseback at 110...... no one ever said why he stopped doing that). I am looking forward to a much longer life than 83..... with or without an RI/RV ! 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md11fr8dawg Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Kenneth Copeland? Jim Baker? Jimmy Swaggert? Ernest Angley? Bennie Hinn? All Shysters who try to sow guilt and shame on people to get them to keep sending money so they live in mansions and fly their corporate jets all over the world. There are some religous leaders I admire, but it sure isn't ANY of them. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md11fr8dawg Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 You obviously did not see the documentary done on him about his racket of a church and his multi million dollar corporate jet and how mad he got, wouldn't answer simple questions and stormed off after making a complete ass out of himself and his organization. It's been a couple of years ago I saw the doc, maybe he has made ammends with God and is back in good graces. Sorry fool me once! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlon Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I thought the ride would end on February 29th, but then I realized I was looking at the 2024 calendar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
