So I decided to pitch in with a view based on cold facts and logic. Then half way through writing the wall of text, explaining the various aspects and importance of:
- Information Security (information is potential power, power is subject to greed, greed is bad etc.)
- Sensible investing (meaning financial power you can spare without endangering the sustenance of your lifestyle)
- Risk Management (quite a few concerns here aren't necessarily a risk, they're more the fear(s) of an individual, one should not assess his/her risk based on speculation or the "what ifs")
, I decided (this sentence isn't very fluent) not to waste too much forum space. Those that are a bit sharper will maintain composure and those that aren't...will keep
whining struggling.
I do hope that the most "vocal" will be put in their place, for those familiar with MMA;

willing and able to do so. If things pan out nicely, I'll be happy. If things go awry, I'll not be so happy...for a few hours, then I'll move on to something else.
