Yes, we have all heard it before.  The same old investment maxims or advice.  When you go to forums, or when you talk to other investors, you hear them spouting these phrases. When you turn on the TV, you get bombarded by these phrases as well.  It’s the same old words, same old advice, same old crap, that you are subjected to hear over and over again once you are in the investing community.  I am so sick of it.  If the next person says any of these phrases to me I swear I am gonna go berserk.
