Jimmy, its laughable that betting on the 'Sport of Kings' is considered 'gambling' and 'punting on the Stockmarket' is a legitimate and solid investment strategy...especially, in light of recent downturns in returns for those so-called strong investments. Billions of dollars of superannuation money (including my little nest egg) gambled on the stockmarket (I dont have any say also) and you are not guaranteed a positive return. Tell your friends or family, that you are waiting for a bullish stockmarket before reinvesting your hard earned cash...(mind you, I have heard that this is the time to get in)...or just ###**@*@* off...
