Quote from thoreau777:
Glad to see that you have seen the amusement in this thread, no matter how mild.
Your in depth analysis of the OP's mental and social stability [or lack thereof] fails completely to spot the obvious....but, I have to say that you are in excellent company here on ET with "failure to spot the obvious"
But I digress ....
Our OP suffers from BPET, a condition that you may well be completely unaware of, but rest assured, it has it's foundation here on ET.
Current political stupidity prevents me from offering a detailed explanation but the clues lie in ...
BP ... bi polar
ET ... entertaining trivia
This condition causes ETers to buy when the price is obviously falling and to sell when even the family cat can see the price is heading north.
I could ramble on and on, but once BPET is diagnosed there seems little point in flogging a dead ETer [oops I mean, horse]
We are really dealing with a black comedy more than mild amusement, I would suggest.
