Yes, to both questions. Bland views his retirement plans simply as an unexpected opportunity that came and went. He never managed to get too upset about it...he has a job he enjoys and is good at. Bland's personal solution to the vagaries of the market lately has been to simply back off and not get too obsessed with it...devote his time to other things. He doesn't do nearly the research he once did, and he goes for days now without looking at his portfolios. Most of the money he has in the market is money he has made in the market, and despite everything, he still had an excellent year in 2000. He's just not sitting on a 500% return in six months, like he once was. There's a limit to the angst he feels it necessary to endure because of that...it was a windfall, and a less auspicious wind carried it away again. Bland is still as happy and content today as he has ever been.
