    that’s a helluva graphic! the modern dingleberry doesn’t grasp the time to take an interest is all the time. while you should be consistently be a financial lumberjack the best times to input your dollars are when the markets are lower.

    That’s a beautifully compelling explanation of recency bias Dave. As old as I am it still affects me in that I much prefer a soaring growth of my net worth to a sickening plunge. But then, like now, I don’t touch anything. I’ve seen it al before, several times.
