Cosmic, Don't worry, no harm done. You brought up the subjects and I was only responding to your inquiry. You are correct in that if you didn't want to hear the answers, it is perhaps better to not ask the questions.
I have made it quite clear over the months that my motives for participating here are NOT specifically investment related. Therefore your condemnation of my investment practices is irrelevant.
I have many things in my life that bring me great joy, so don't worry on that score.
You continue to 'bet' away and I hope you enjoy great satisfaction from the experience. I expect it is very much like buying a lottery ticket, a VERY inexpensive and quite satisfying interlude of daydreams and possibilities that continues until the actual drawing.
Best of luck to you.
regards,
