Fred, well I know one thing for sure about where I'm "sitting" . . . on a heap o' losses!!
As I mentioned on another board, "So this is what a bear market feels like . . . I'd almost forgotten." It sure hurts financially, but the whole experience is just making a better person out of me by testing my resolve and positive attitude, right??
I keep saying to myself, "The downturn is only temporary . . . I'm a long-term investor, I'm a long-term investor, I'm a long-term investor . . . and it worked for Warren Buffett." Well, it hasn't worked for me yet, and I'm running out of time!!! Guess a lot depends on which horse you pick . . . mine stumbled out of the gate, and hasn't fully recovered since. But at least the race isn't quite over yet . . . or is it?
Wake me when it's over. Then I'll get up and probably do the same thing all over again. The thrill of the chase, you know!
Fear & Greed, Fear & Greed, Fear & Greed. Sure seems like we're now about 180 degrees from the euphoric psychology of two years ago . . . problem is, bull/bear market trends usually last longer than justified by the fundamentals. Wake me when it's over . . .
Back to my Dreamland,
