I don't think I'm cocky when I'm on iHub. Maybe in real life, but not in the threads. I'm most cocky when in traffic, especially around older folks like NW's age.
I know a guy that is about 60 years old. Has no car. Would rather ride a bus. If you saw him walking, you'd want to give him a buck or two. But he has the financial ability to out-muscle a bank. He could buyout any OTC company that you trade in. He could afford several of any car you desire.
There are always exceptions. I bet he doesn't live in a nice house. Buffet doesn't live in a nice house.
I look at vehicles as a stock that you know is going to go down. They depreciate every friggen year.
So does food, but you still buy it. I live for the moment without cheating myself out of the things that make me happy. Makes sense, doesn't it?
But the biggest mistake you can make is labeling people by what you see.
I know I do that alot, but the biggest objection I have to not labeling people by what I see is that when I do that, 95% of the time, I'm correct about them. This is going to sound somewhat arrogant, but I have a very good ability to tell a lot about people by the way they look and act.
