Actually I live in a tiny cabin up in the mountains and drive a total P.O.S. car and I do this purposely (as I've posted on my board) so I don't become like the rest of spoiled Americans who feel like they're always owed something. This helps me see a true picture and not one that's tainted. I give way more than 10% of my earnings to my church. I developed a great deal of humility while living in Mexico in watching very poor people who are far far happier than 99% of the people in the USA. Keeping things real at all times allows me to see a much clearer picture when looking at stocks. I may come across as a "know-it-all" at times, but that's only because I have strong opinions. Those on IHUB who have met me in person will be the first to tell you how strangely honest I am, knowing that I'll be the first one to post the negatives about a stock, even when I own a position in that particular stock. They'll also tell you that I'm always open-minded and able to make quick adjustments concerning the outlook for a stock. There are times when I've thought a stock was the best thing since sliced bread in the morning, but when I realize otherwise, I might think that same stock is a total P.O.S. by the afternoon. Bottom line is that you can't marry a stock and if circumstances change, you have to be able to change as well. It can be very disappointing to have to change your sentiment when you discover that your original sentiment was way off base, but if you're not willing to adjust quickly, it can cost you big time financially. That's why there's no such thing in the stock market as loyalty ........
