This is good stuff. I have trouble explaining this sometimes. I am a cynic
but not a pessimist. Big difference. I have unbounded 100% confidence in me
and what I can do. I expect most others to disappoint. So far, I am batting
close to 1.000 in this area. With regard to the negative views of FinanceDude's buddy,
he appears to be pretty depressed. It's a shame.
