These are times that try tech stock investors souls; especially those of us on this thread who choose to buy and hold for longer than an hour/week/month. Having been through this several times over the last decade, I would like to share some of my tricks to coping with the evaporating portfolio syndrome that I periodically experience. 1: Take a bath and follow it up with a nap. If I am going to go broke today I may as well be clean and well rested. 2: Go to a movie. This costs money so it ads fuel to the fire, but it is a great way to escape without getting a hangover. 3: Look through the Sunday want adds for a high paying job. Those of you who still work for a living are one up on me here. I don't actually apply for jobs. Just look for them. Window shopping is so much easier than punching the clock every morning at 8:30 am. 4: Flip to CSPAN and watch the vote count. How many people does it take to count a single ballot? (any punch lines out there?) By the looks of it, somewhere between 5 and 50. This is a great time passer and there are moments of heavy drama when a chad hits the floor. 5: Sue somebody. By god if I am going down, I may as well take someone with me. 6: Drown my sorrows in a pint of Ben And Jerry's Ice cream and then run wind sprints at the gym until I puke. Wind sprints are cathartic and so is puking. I purge therefore I am. 7: Clean the toilet. If you are a man you've probably never done this before but I can tell you from limited experience that you will be loved for the rest of the day if you perform this ugly task. And that is what we all really want isn't it? If my money is not loving me today, then why not ignore it and get some love from my wife? Also, cleaning the toilet has a Zen like quality. It reminds me to be humble. 8: Throw the damn computer out the window. I'll try this one after I send this post. Unfortunately, I will not be able to report the effectiveness of this one for obvious reasons. 9: Call 911 and say "My portfolio has fallen and it can't get up!" 10: Attend to my photo album. It reminds me of how much fun I had before I went broke.
