Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

Elise is a 1st grader today. She asked me to sit down on the couch and talk with her this morning. The topic was the eternal question: "What if people are mean?"

A lot of computer guys dabble in stocks, so the mood is grim here this morning. In my case, 2001 cured me of that temptation.

There is nothing wrong investing in stocks. As long as you know the fundamentals of the companies your investing in. Warren Buffet is a great example of that. He wasn't always right, but more times than not he was.. Something to think about anyway.

It is now time to sell according to the old adage, "buy high, sell low".

You're welcome.

Yes.. LOL..

Rob- I got that one down - at least the buy angle. I don't know anyone else who managed to perfectly time the stock bubble in 2001 (although I didn't have much money to lose) as well as the housing bubble in 2005 (when I bought my house in FL). I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but I'm a pretty good reverse barometer.

Steve - you're right, of course. I'm still kicking myself for not buying Chipotle stock years ago - I've eaten enough of their burritos to keep a franchise in business.
