I just think to myself: I'll either be out $XX,XXX spent out of pocket, which was disposable income that I would've just spent on nicer cars or something over the last several years anyway. Or, I'm going to retire 20+ years early and spend the rest of my life having fun and traveling.
It's an asymmetrical bet with enormous upside potential and acceptable downside risk.
Thats the healthy way to think about it. I just over committed and overestimated my ability to deal with volatility. It's my first boom and bust cycle. It's like a virginity. "second time should be allright"....right?
A bit on the melo-dramatic side surely.
Be more like this guy....
Yeah, thats the rational way to think about it. I've just had too many Karhu's. Beer and price chart combined tends to bring my emotional side. Which...I know doesnt do too good job at investing.
