Wait-doggie,
Altho the neurotic tendencies drove me a little nutzo on odd occasions, I have ALWAYS admired two things about you.
The first, in no particular order is your ability to share your inner mental and psycho-social workings as you mull thru your stock picking decisions. Essentially laying your ego on the table so to speak in these circles is an unusual, and zen-like, quality.
The other is your honest efforts to reach out to all, on this thread, throwing out some well thought out, home-spun, psychoanalysis, in an attempt to reach people, and maybe, push them along a little further on their path. Some of that wisdom does NOT go unnoticed.
Best of luck to you along your investment paths,
