R: How are your stocks doing, Jim?

J: Oh, all right. I lost a bunch of money in the last two years, but this year has been pretty good.

R: Yeah, I lost money investing in the internet too.

J: Just goes to show that you should buy companies not ideas.

R: I changed my strategy around too. I invest in good companies now.

J: Yeah, me too. Did you hear about Ted?

R: No. What happened?

J: He lost his kids’ college money by trading.

R: Oh, boy. His wife can't be happy about that.
