Hard to hate the bubble when it makes me 401K look so fat at the moment, and wouldn’t want to miss out on gains but goodness there must be a burst of bubble at some point here.

Yeah, that's the thing. Or, why I still have almost half in stocks. That's why I came up with this "gambling winnings" strategy where I basically view my stock funds as a set amount and anything they earn over time are my winnings and I periodically pocket those. I may be missing out on gains but if there's a huge fall I'm mitigating losses. And, more importantly, I'll have money on hand to buy the dip. "Buy low, sell high!" I think Berkshire Hathaway is more than 50% cash/bonds at this point and I figure what's good enough for Warren Buffet is good enough for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

what's good enough for Warren Buffet is good enough for me.

Sound thinking

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aurelia you had the fermented shark?? You are a brave and trusting human, my goodness.

Just enough to say I tried it. It smelled terrible, but the taste was just fishy.
