Qwik,

You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Alice in Wonderland:

"Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?
That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
I don't much care where.
Then it doesn't matter which way you go."

 

[Rigel]

Things aren't always what they seem.
Skim milk masquerades as cream.

 

[Commisso]

"THE recognition of our own mistakes should not benefit us any more than the study of our successes. But there a natural tendency in all men to avoid punishment. When you associate mistakes with a licking, you do not hanker for a second dose, and of course, all stock market mistakes hit you in two tender spots -- your pocket book and your vanity...." Edwin Leferve Stock Operator

[Rigel]

Freedom is the instant between when the market tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.
