Thread: burrocrat's Account Talk

OK, I think I just came across something important, it might explain why some folks are more risk adverse. I'm trying to wrap my head around but give me some time, it's hard to consider how the other half feels so soon after realizing there is an other half.

Anthony thinks of gains, and Betty thinks of losses. The psychological outcomes they assess are entirely different, although the possible states of wealth they face are the same.

Once you have accepted a theory, it is extraordinarily difficult to notice its flaws. As the psychologist Daniel Gilbert has observed, disbelieving is hard work.

well, if i'm heading that way i'd just as soon get there in a hurry, need a ride?

In art circles I think they call it provenance.

You won't find that here.

Burro,
How are those sticky pants holding up? It has been an interesting ride today. Not one of those you gotta scream on the big downhill runs but a good keep your arms in the air kind of runs and catch some air time.

I feel a bit sick. Maybe we shouldn't have eaten so much cotton candy.

It's been a fun day for the permabull.

Two days ago it was wee wee, today it's Wheeeeeeee! Wheeeeeeeeee!

Nothing like a big win to keep a guy coming back to the casino.

Waaaah, waaaaaaaaah. Back in the hole.

At least I got to come up for air and change my sticky pants and get some r&r before going back under.

I thought about doing some tricky end of the month switch and shuffle then buy back in, but I decided to just let it ride.

Burro, You may want to switch tanks and go to mixed gases. It looks like we may be diving deeper today.

Why I was gonna... coulda... shoulda, woulda, ah crap.

Dam fortune cookie was right, I live in exciting times. Careful what you ask for.

Hi BC, K suggests you are going for the gold in several areas. Hope it works out for you and especially for J. Best of wishes on the investment.
