Well, there you have it. You aren't trying to maximize money. Your intent is a valid investment approach too. Many people invest for other reasons than the mad money chase. You invest because in this lifetime you need to suffer with this particular flagellation, but you shouldn't carp about a failure of your choices to perform. You have to learn to accept what comes to you by itself without reaction. This is karma yoga. -Is all this ok with you? Of course it is. You will make more progress to the goal by doing this than by madly chasing money. When you try to maximize money you only maximize grief, but if you practice this yoga with diligence, you will get the four fruits, kama, artha, dharma. and eventually, moksha. I have read a good many of your posts and have come to respect you, as others here do. I often dont agree with your approach and manner but your knowledge and intellect are clear. I can't quite square your critical nature with the Eastern slant but I appreciate your thoughts in that regard. Easter thought is something I have been exploring, and it interests me greatly. I think your comments are very on-target btw. As for ATHM, yes I am guessing in many respects. I thought that was a necessary part of buying and selling stocks in the market. Obviously there are many systems and strategies employed to make the best guesses, and I use some of them. And probably not perfectly. But I accept that. If I'm a speculator then throw me to the lions if you must. Doesnt seem necessary to make these value judgments about the nature of the buyer of a security. There are a lot of different agendas. Why must one be any better or worse, inherently, than another? It's a process, no? If someone chooses to invest all their money in ATHM June 30 calls, many can easily say that it looks to be an idiotic move. And it probably would turn out to be so. But maybe that person needs to go through that, to learn first hand the nature of stupidity. No reason to criticize that. People make mistakes and that is what makes them people. Fallibility is lovable, I think. Anyway, best to you. And get ATHM back on track, will ya.
