Janice,
You touch on a point that has grown very dear to my heart with your statement that : "But who are we to complain? We're having fun, aren't we?"
TFRY has changed my outlook on investing, if not my fundamental philosophy. See, I used to think of investing as a "put X dollars in and at some later point in time, get back X+N", where N is a positive real number. But now I have realized that investing is just like going to Vegas, or going to the racetrack. In such outings, I always take a certain dollar amount and end up losing the bulk of it, but I easily write the loss off in my mind as entertainment value.
So, even though TFRY has cost me a bumload of money, I have enjoyed allowing Kelly et al strip me of my pride and equity. No, Janice, it ain't no red Beemer, but dawgonnit, it is wholesome fun. I could just as easily have spent all that money on cheap crack whores, but that would have given me all kinds of ailments. Last I checked, I have not gotten a single chancre sore or crab from TFRY (But then, I have not yet tasted a french fry from this revolutionary device, so the jury is still out on that count...)
GOOOOOOoooooooo TFRY! |
