Hi Woz.....your rational is good but do you have any guarantee that you will be around after next week????

Kirk can be doing his sailboarding and then get bitten in half by a shark. And people like you will say, well that's just a one in a million chance.

Keep in mind that even if you have a 75% change of living till 80.....you could still fall into the 25% that made the wrong bet.

For example....you might get a free pass on one of the Asian airlines that just fall into the Indian Ocean

Or you and your wife go out for a Sunday drive and Bruce Jenner is in the car behind you and does not see your stop lights.

Being in good health is important but as you get older, strokes and cancers come out of no where, to reap their annual harvest.

For what ever reason, as we get older, minor illnesses that in years past our bodies would just shrug off, become life threatening.

Now here is a thought....people with the best longevity live in that strip of land between Minn and the UP of Michigan. Like today it was -18 below 0 this morning. The good news is that viruses don't do well in very cold air temperatures below freezing.

Please tell me where you can find a guaranteed 8% return
Nothing is guaranteed least of all your survival beyond this week.

At any rate your viewpoint is appreciated.
