    Chuck was over dramtic, but he never actually acted on his impulses.

    Which is why he never actually lost any money in the market (never having followed through on the impulse to invest either).

    The huge emphasis on bottom line now is a literal killer, sometimes. My money managers have a standing order to keep some of my money working at risky stuff with a high potential return. And some of it in bonds. And some of it overseas. And some…

    Every once in awhile, I look at the news and want to call those folks for some reassurance. But I just sit on my hands and after awhile it goes away. And I get a nice slap on the back from one or two of them at their annual Xmas openhouse, as they tell me how much they appreciate NOT hearing from me during a crisis.

    For every market action there’s an unequal and opposite overreaction.

    During the Great Recession, someone asked me if I felt like jumping out my window. I said I already had, but I’m on the first floor, and it’s about two feet from the window ledge to the ground. So, after jumping, I just went back inside and got on with it.

    Well….I guess the market will never recover for him.

    It’s amazing how easy it is to create panic in the market.

    Too far. Suicide is not funny. Not even a little. Children and vulnerable people read comics.

    Officially we are in a bull market. The S&P has risen 21% which is the indicator of such. Many are looking askance at that as things are still iffy in the actual economy. It is a strange economy and there are many conflicting opinions on it by economists.

    Warren Buffet once said that investing in the stock market was like having a partner who is manic depressive. You never know from one day to the next how Mister Market will feel.

    Much easier being poor. I’m used to having limited money so I don’t need to kill myself because the stock market tanked. Poor people are strong people. We have to be.

    She knows her boss. He’s too chicken to jump. If he didn’t in 2008, he won’t now.

    Personally, I would have waited for the cops to show up and with a megaphone shout “Don’t Jump”, while the onlookers shouted “Jump, Jump”. I like making hard decisions
