You know, I can understand why this has happened - I don't like it because I was stupid and greedy and kept multiplying split after split on my calculator and relishing the fact that I would be a multi-millionaire (not just millionaire) in x number of years that I lost sight of the fact that, that just does not happen.
I even thought, Gee, I'm gonna make too much money. I mean, really! How stupid! So, for me, as much as I would prefer flying first class, this kind of brings me back to basics. I'm just going to hold on to what I have, wait for it to run up again (and it will, sooner or later)and live an ordinary life, like I have been for the last half century and just carry on.
I've just spent 10 days away from real time quotes, the office, and all the bull that comes with living in an urban environment - traffic, noise pollution, air pollution, people pollution. It's jarring to come back. You feel it first just behind the shoulder blades. Sort of tightens.
But what hurts the most, even afer acknowledging that perhaps this "correction" was necessary to get rid of all the flotsam, is that, like joseph w renfrew said, a lot of folks' retirements has gone up in smoke over this. and I don't think that it had to go that far. That's what I'm pissed off about.
Anyway, I think it's late enough in the day that not too many are going to read this so I don't have to feel bad tomorrow morning about what I said last night.
Night all.
