Where have I been soooo wrong?????

Chic: There are two things that you can do to show that you're a little wet behind the ears:

1. Show up trailing a pull-toy behind you.

2. (This one has multiple steps.)

2a. Post a message about how you've decided to go all-in on a big play in the stock market: you're betting your entire bankroll and some of your family's on a bunch of calls that are due to expire in 72 hours because you're positive that the stock will go up more than ten points after an earnings announcement two days hence.

2b. Have your friends the clown-killers tell you you're full of sh*t, though in less vitriolic terms than those they reserve for official clowns (since you're an apprentice clown-killer).

2c. Don't really make the play.

2d. Watch the stock go DOWN after the earnings announcement instead of up.

2e. Post a message that you made money in options that month anyway.

This is roughly equivalent of showing up with a pull-toy, but harder to explain to your after-school care provider.

But it's ok, everybody has to go through their own maturation process. It's just karma<g>.
