i try to do some calculation in my head as to what the emotional cost would be of my portfolio dropping some 30% in a particular month. In August it was down 18% from June 30, and it was not a warm and fuzzy feeling. What is the likelihood of Iran getting attacked in the next 90days, and what would the market repercussions of that be? That combined with the release of the grey book which depicts a less rosy situation for america than cnbc, and the subprime cockroaches makes me emotionally comfortable buying some "insurance", and i will feel better if I dont need it.
