Thank you Rick. You just made my day ;-)
I have some deep ruts in my skull from my investment mistakes. I learned a lot with the demise of my first fortune. One of them was that I spent a lot of time crying over the spilled milk, making excuses, & living in denial while the market taught me the hard way. Vaporizing your wealth can force reality on you in a brutal manner.
I learned a little while building my second one. IMO, you learn more bad things when the market is going in the direction you want it to go. Fortune #2 was too easy to build. It was therefore, too easy to end up losing.
The new ruts from sending fortune #2 to money heaven have taught me a few more much needed lessons. I must say that I have learned significantly from folks like you, Voltaire, Jim Willie, Greg, CAtechTrader, she-x, Jill, edamo, VENKIE & a host of others on this thread & numerous others on the G&K, buffalo range & various stock specific threads. (to those not mentioned, no offense was meant - just spurted this list of the top of my head - I thank you all ;-)
Building & retaining fortune #3 will determine whether I've learned enough lessons.
Thank you all for your gracious to desire share your knowledge & to help others.
