(From Paulo Coelho)
A man asked my friend Jaime Cohen: ' What is the human being's funniest characteristic?'
Cohen said: ' Our contradictoriness. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.'
It reminds me of the time we think about the future and take a position without giving due weightage to the present(trend) and end up holding a losing position....

lol, nice, Ilango. I'd make one of those "in such a hurry to short, and then I long for my lost capital".
Nice pic, Lee! You should put this one on your site ( If Jesse Livermore was 'like catnip to the ladies,' this pic would compete;).
