100% certainty over a stock....sure thing.....When not if??? Hmmmm, i used to feel that way too. It was after I maxed my credit cards out on NVEI and convinced all my family and friends to follow suit. ...and the root of my confidence??? Well, it turns out that the root of my confidence was in my denial of the alternative and of its consequences. -hard lesson to learn!!
While I understand optimism and actually really respect those who who have been able to remain upbeat throughout the years, I have to pause when I hear someone say that it is a sure thing. Sure thing means 100% right? I would value the optimism of someone who is only 51% certain over the person who is 100%.
