I thought there were feelings in there somewhere!!! Where have they all gone, John? Can't you get them back? They are really nice feelings. If you added them back into the mix, I mean with your brains and the interesting parts of your personality, you would still be smart but you'd be nice and sensitive, too. Your brain could still run the show or something. No amateur psychoanalysis, because I know you hate that (although I am very good at it), but I've always had the sense you had a lot of feelings that got very hurt, and they retreated to a small and protected place in your psyche where they are underused, and limit the depth of your experience. I'd like to see them around here more often.
I have everyone and no one looking out after me!! I handle my stocks because I have to. I did not inherit my money. I am really frugal and I take all this very seriously. Unfortunately I got over-confident last spring, thinking I had a couple of weeks to trade everything once more, and then the bottom fell out of the market, and ultimately my dreams as well.
If I weren't margined to the hilt as well, and needing to pay that down, there are a lot of things I would buy. But hey, at least I own one stock that seems to have a glimmer of hope about it at the moment.
Thanks again, John!
