>>> i recall seeing a scientific study where it said 90% of ALL decisions are emotional... <<< Having spent most of my adult life in commission sales, I can attest to that!

Well, I must be a different bird....I don't own a convert. I don't care about the wind. I don't like black cars as they are too hot in the South. Emotion......yeah, avoid heat. Stocks? Geeze, ya want me to get all emotional like Erin Burnet and some of the other 'emotionals' on CNBC. Sorry. The story is how to maximize profits and minimize losses. It is a simple guessing/timing/chart-reading game. I fail to see the emotions. Others, oh yahaaaaaaa the portfolio mangers are just dripping with emotion as the hit the buy/sell keys. I just leave the discussion at that. Personally, does not compute.
