yea no kidding, the original post had nothing to do
with gliders. he
was trying to work some stock or money market system
or something.
most of those schreders are going for 3-4 times what
i payed for my
cherokee with an enclosed trailer. just remember,
if youve got enough
glider to make it back to the airport, you probably
could have gone at
least a third longer distance if you wouldve just kept
going downwind!

i bought my glider to avoid having to share gliders
with people (a'la
club) call me selfish but i like having my own ship
to go cross
country when and where i want. Ill keep a partner
in bed and that is
all.


You guys need to read more than the subject line...

My post referred back to a post a year ago where someone
asked if he had a new glider on order with a delivery
a year out what was the best thing to do with his money.

It ended up in a bet between a few of us and Tom Seim
who made a prediction about the performance of the
Fidelity ContraFund versus the broad market and Euro/$
exchange rates. His suggestion was to keep you money
in dollars and invest in the ContraFund. Turned out
to be bad advice. My post was to close the loop on
that bet.

BB is right - it went way off topic in the 2nd reply
and never came back. Unless you consider spouting about
anything vaguely related to the subject line as 'on
topic'. How it morphed into Cherokees and patnerships
and motorgliders is a testament to short attention
spans.
