Is it possible to be truthful and honest and make a living investing?

Talking of rampers, this from the Tadpole thread today, from what can only be described as a pestilent ramper

Anyone else heard this, I stress its only a very unsubstatiated rumour.

Ramu,
Thanks for your advice which is appreciated. I had to study "DYOR" for a while before my slow-working mind slid into gear. Very good!

Ramu,
I have a 17.60% loss with my small investment in BNH. I had decided to sell anything with a 10% loss, but don't like selling shares or, indeed, anything, at a loss. I know this is not wise for trading shares, but its my temperment. Will have to wise up.
Where can I find that BNH BB you mentioned please?
Open question: Should I sell at 5%, 10%, 15%, or whatever loss/gain?

Rampage,
Thank you for your advice which, appears to me, to be practical and down to earth.
John
