I've read that 70% of the trades on the DJ are made by computers that have made the decision to trade and do so back and forth (with each other) in micro-seconds.

Not many small investors in the market anymore. (IMO)

Hey, thank you very much for your response. What you read makes sense, given there is so much activity, yet no one I know is bragging of making even a few dollars on any stocks.

I do hear plenty about metals buying and oil, but wonder what the ROTH owners did with their ROTH, or are about to do. Young career couples went in for ROTH and I wonder if they still have them or traded them for a little gold or silver, or what?

Just thinking out loud, here.

Leads to the question, perhaps the suspicion, that a buyer of a stock is the same as its owner.
