I am so smrt...reloaded

I look back on some of these posts with disgust. Not because I find what I'm writing to be trite and meaningless, but because these posts document decisions that have cost me hard money. My being "smart", then being "smrt" trade cost me - big. Being "smart" would've ultimately paid off, the verdict is still out on being "smrt".

As retarded as I feel (and yes, I feel retarded a lot when I look at my Vanguard statements) ... I look back on these decisions, ignore the "would've, should've, and could'ves", and remind myself what the maestro (Buffett) says, "Whatever the outcome, we will heed a prime rule of investing: You don't have to make it back the way that you lost it."

As much as I like to say that "hope is not an investment philosophy", but good God, I sure hope I'm right...
