post continued.

The people committing the robbery were in no hurry. They had guns and there were five of them. The took all my diamond engagement ring, colored stone rings, etc. My cost for this unisured event was close to $2 million which lkeft my networth at close to zero. The stress from that robbery helped trigger a heart attack which occurred on December 5th. I had two large problems. My mobility was reduced and I needed diamonds to sell for the holiday season. My suppliers came through for me and with credit terms that permit me to pay over all of 1990. It was like starting again. I built my networth back up and by 1996 was back about to where I was. Then I shorted Amazon in 1998-1999. That did not wipe me out but it hurt financially.

So I look at this as an ongoing challenge. Some are good times and some are not good. The real issue is am I happy with life, my interests, my family or whatever are my priorities. The answer is yes. This is what counts. I have my health and I am happy that I now spend a lot of time with my son. I enjoy SI and sometimes overdo it.

Life goes one and it sure is a good time living it.
