Overreaction, uh.

Do you hold on to that shit for long-ish periods of time or do you try to time the market correctly for a quick trade?

I think the long term potential outweighs any short trade if you're simply buying the stock. Several years perhaps. As far as short term, if you were buying puts during the slide you could easily be a millionaire but I think that time has passed. I think the stock remains pretty volatile but goes nearly sideways for a while.

What's your excuse for growing up into a beautiful fuck-up?

dude my dad BRAGS to me to this day (when I speak to him that is) about how he has NEVER owned a stock

He was born in '32, so he has some kind of 1930s style rationale that goes something like this (imagine it in a pathetically out of touch 30s/40s voice):

"if you buy a stock, what do you own? Nothing! All you own is a piece of paper!"


And believe it or not, he is actually closer to making sense on this topic than he is on most other topics
