confessions of a greedy old bastard

    Damn, I bought 1000 shares of GDXJ on Friday and now I'm down about $3,000.00.  Oh well, It will come back.
      You know, it's easier to be a GOB (greedy old bastard) than to raise good kids and have a successful marraige. that being said, YOU may be a GOB if you do the following:
       1.  Started out being a greedy young bastard (GYB)
       2.  think more about money than you think about sex
       3.   Making $1000 or more on a stock trade IS better than sex
       4.   drive a 10 year old car ( or older)
       5.  hate debt
       6.  have taxes as your biggest expense (maybe health insurance too)
       7.  spend too much time watching CNBC
       8.   Scream at the tv "SHUT UP LARRY "    (Kudlow that is)
       9.  save the maximum amount in your 401K , IRA,  and company stock purchase plans.
      10.  keep looking for more ways to save money
OK, There you have it. If you have any of these symptoms, you may be a GOB. There are more symptoms, but that will do for now. Remember, It's not what you make; it's what you save-no matter how much you earn.  A man is rich in porportion to what he can live without.
