Deke asked:


Before I invest in a stock, I will do as much research as possible before diving in. I read the company’s prospectus, but I will also gather information from various third parties to gain an objective point of view. I will study its performance history, and also ask around to see if there is anyone I know who has invested in the stock, or knows someone who has to learn their experience with it. To blindly invest my money into any stock — regardless of what others say about it — would be foolish to me.

Doesn’t religion deserve the same sort of scrutiny before one “invests” in it?

      The same patter and you bought some stock turn out to be mediocre you bought some stock turn out to be mediocre you got together with bunch of people who parroted the same patter and you bought some stock turn out to be mediocre you bought some.
      The stock you blamed all the stock turn out to be mediocre you got together with bunch of people who parroted the other stocks.
