And Party, about your other comment:
You said::<< By the way, I notice you've become a bit more sensitive over your own posting time>>
This is certainly true, and I give you credit for bringing up the opportunity cost of this blather in several ways ...
First, your rough and ready numerical musings have merit, although I passionately disagree that much human activity can be analyzed this way ... otherwise, one would only engage in one's most financially rewarding activity, and outsource all the rest. I would know nothing of building a deck, cleaning a sewage sump, repairing a light on a 50 ft pole, roofing a house, knitting a baby dress for my daughter (yes!) etc etc etc and would be totally disconnected from the fabric of life ...
the Queen bee has stumbled down this evolutionary path, and now deprived of flight, remains in the dark nest, forever consigned to her fate of egg laying in the attendance of dull drones ... this fate also befalls the attorney (or software architect) who numbers his life by his hourly wage ... still, excess is a sign of obsession ...
Second, today you again reminded us all that the posters here are penny investors with a few thousands or tens of thousands of shares ... why shouldn't they be left in peace to tout their favourite hobby horse, even if irrationally so? ... the ones who are doing it for their bread and butter need no admonition ... the one who are having a go like the bingo player or the lottery punter should hardly have to stand in scorn's way ...
And they don't ... I believe that the relationship is symbiotic ... it only works if one plays off against the other, in a mutually fulfilling sort of way ... for me, it is most closely allied to bar-room banter, without the smoke and the din of shouting, and regrettably without the odd decent draught or dram ... it is more British than American ... Brits take their wordplay and debating seriously, but it is still only play ... where it goes wrong here is with the injection of emotion ... the Zulus love their stock, and want to be rich, and the "negs" love their logic and want to be right ...
At this exact instant in time, seeing this as some mythic tug-of-war, the ribbon appears to me to be off centre to the ESVS side ... where it is in fact is another matter, but appearances count big down pink sheet way ... Tara says the TA calls it 1:1 for short term good times; I say the negs have lost a little toehold, but that the ground all around is so uncertain that the outcome is not for mortals to foretell ...
Rich or Right? Honest Party, that's what keeps me here! Stay tuned. |
