I have lost several family members in the last 5 years, its getting older that makes you wonder where its all gone or how much you have left.
It also makes you think about all your decisions and actions in the past, if I took out the investment part, it would look somewhat better.
Looking at the investment part, its not just about the money, also the time involved, i made little per hour on stocks, that's for sure. most of the time was not spent making the decision, but watching it afterwards. Maybe the time could have been better spent on family, also the impact it had on family life resulting from some of the past losses.
One thing I do realize more then ever, anyone on this board or anywhere else that love to see others in financial loss and pain, really does not matter and has no impact other than in cyberspace. I try to focus on those IHUB posters that can help me make better investment decisions, not criticize when I dont make them.
