Just a note to tell all that I am buying more today...
As I lay in bed last night my mind was going a mile a minute; I had regrets that I had not sold at my intellectual target of 2 3/16, after seeing the steep chart line up; I was sure we would pull back and I could lock in profits. I was not able to, perhaps for the reasons Ariella mentioned: the "club" thing, greed, who knows. That's my weakness, getting attached or identified with issues.
I thought "What has changed?" Really not much fundamentally, but a lot emotionally. I felt like a kid with a foal; I and a small number of friends had been the only ones to ride her, and when the corral was opened one day to professional bronc-busters, a few of the most seasoned rodeo hands got up in the saddle and put her through paces me and my friends had not imagined, or dared, to attempt. At the end of the day she was tired and beat and slowly walked back to the barn, head hanging low, while the pros got in their fancy pickups and, laughing and joking, drove off to find another spry filly to wring out. As I lay in bed in this waking dream, I walked into the barn and over to her stall; I looked her over. No bruises, no broken bones, beat but very impressive even in her fatigue from proving she had what it takes to attract the seasoned hands from far away, some of whom stayed around, seeing the potential clearly.
Tomorrow is another day, old hoss...
