That there is a disconnect between the economy and the stock market.....and always will be
That no one is always right.....
That by following a few simple rules, i can do as well, if not better than a lot of the so called prefessionals out there
That large companies with worldwide sales are a safe haven when the economy of the US in in the toilet (especially with good dividends) ( think ge, inbev, nestle etc)
That errors in investing become lessons....and are less likely to be repeated
That what is hot one day can become ice cold the next....trends are great but the drops are precipitous
That my knowledge is lacking....but increasing....and this site with ALL its information (good and bad) helps me become a better investor
A few random thoughts....and a general thank you to all who have helped me increase my net worth over the last two years

You and me both. I started reading the MT board back in early 2009. What I found there diminished my dispair. I wanted to yank all my investments and convert back to cash. Thanks to the positive feelings I got I didn't. I gained a confidence in the market to resume an upward trend and reverse the losses we all experienced. I went back to the board periodically to confirm my convictions and was not disapointed. With the help of professional guidance outside of the board I made some solid moves that have paid off. I hope to continue to see increased value in the market but I have disciplined myself to be vigilant and cautious to what happens on a daily basis.
Karma to you my friend!

Adding a few more items to the list
Your first impression is usually right....DO NOT over think a situation or an investment
A losing proposition RARELY turns around...put your money to work in something that doesnt need a miracle to survive or turn around (this one was an expensive lesson for me)
Buffett says a rocky 12% return far exceeds a steady 6% return...which i agree with....BUT the PM's of the world are worth their weight in gold
Diversification is everything.....enough so one item cant kill you, but not so diluted that the winners are lost in translation

Diversification and commonsense go a long way to making you money.
