from the rig board on yahoo...a little levity around the fear

Joe... oh, I'm scared. I was

scared that PTEN may participate in this pullback more than it has. I'm also scared that it held up better than
others for some reason unknown to me and I'll miss the truck. I'm scared that I'll not buy the next BMG I'm
watching (like a fool I was just a click away from BMG at 1 3/4 last week). I'm scared that the plug gets
pulled and I'm back where I started. I'm scared that I'll owe more in taxes than I get to keep this year. I'm
scared that others will get scared and we'll all be in our bunkers before the new year. I'm scared that indeed
RIG will move up in status over the next year and I'll have watchted the ship leave without me. (Scratch that
one off the list.) I'm scared that I'll dollar-cost-average myself down to nothing on these pullbacks. I'm
scared that my ISP will kick me off as I'm trying to buy back into PTEN as it runs up. I'm scared that the
kids will start fighting just as the ISP dumps me. I'm scared that all this fun will kill me before my time.

Its a hell of a way to try to make a buck.
