blow me down sideways, another Cool Post for the Jackass
that is #4
and I didnt even try
the other three were back in spring/summer of fabled y2000

I may be nearly broke
well, many ghetto dwellers would love my savings account
but as a Cool Poster, gotta be worth something
as Caddyshack said in the great satire
"at least I have that going for me"
he referred to self-awareness at the time of his death
in lieu of a caddy's tip from the Dali Lama
the poor guy had just hauled the Dali's golf clubs around 18 holes
self-awareness is a wonderful gift
snakes dont got it

thanks to NoLimitz for pointing it out to me
he disagrees that the grand experiment has failed
it worked for him, and that is well & good
but for the 50-60 people I personally have canvassed, it aint so good
about 1/4 of them have profited nicely over the years
and built something significant (or bordering on such)
most have seen their 401k decline at least 40% this year
some even more, who loved the smallcap phenoms
but NoLimitz should be credited with being near the top
he has retained most of his top from a year ago
he can manage my money anytime
I wish I were kidding

on a more serious note, I was not all that serious in my quick dismissal of the 401k system
I do believe it has failed those who lack selfcontrol, who lack patience, who dont allow their disappointment to be followed by even worse decisions, who just plain suck at this unless a stunning bull wave passes thru

just found out my ultra wealthy rich aunt in England will not be forgetting my mother
Auntie is not long for this world after making love to a bottle of gin for 35 years
Mom dont need no money
it will possibly find its way to the Jackass
now I must knock off the TechJagoff, who competes for our inheritance

now simply to get out of my own way
