Good post. A prayer or two...
As a fromer crap player and gambler, I can relate. I've even had a day where I've turned $100 into a couple of thouand. Fortunately, I've funded my craps adventures with backgammon winnnings.
Anyway, if you do not know the gambler's prayer, here it is:
"Oh God, please let me break even today, because I need the money." :o)

Frustrating to go the the health club and hear the nincompoops on each side of me talk about how wonderful their internet stocks are doing. We cannot carry on a conversation due to their complete lack of knowledge. They can perhaps repeat something they might have read describing how wonderful internet stocks are, and how they future is on the net, but that's it. I get very jealous, as I'm sure you all do too. I wish I was not so highly trained as to be afraid of following the crowd.
People are clearly speculating and winning. Very frightening.
Dear God, plese let me relive the last 12 months, and take away my rationality so that I can make wonderful investments. (Bring me back as a woman? (some might chauvinistically joke)). |
