LOL! But I get his point. Every so often I tell my husband what AMZN is at these days, and I can see him thinking why didn't I buy some of that, but at least he never says it.

Out in the car running errands, listening to Business Radio, some guy calls into one of the touts and wants to know if he should have AOL, AMZN, DELL, and CSCO as his core holdings. The tout did say that his portfolio was "unbalanced."

Tom,

All I have are in dollars, not Rubles.
I did say I lost a bundle from sitting on cash and "buying puts",
right? Well, even if I were just sitting on cash. Anyone like me
sitting on cash for the last 10 weeks must feel they
have lost a bundle not participating the strong up move, right?

I might have been too disciplined for my own good, should have
done some panic buying instead of waiting for the pullback or
adding to my puts (most vanished worthless least Friday).

I start to wonder whether there is ever going to be a pullback.

Frustrated yours,
yu
