Magical thinking…

Nah, manifesting, as it is currently used, means "believing" it into existence.

You want a new job, act as if you already have it, it will come true...

That kind of thing.
Manifesting works to some degree.

When I was training for a competitive race, I would manifest myself crossing the finish line in first place. But you have to put in the work, first. It doesn’t happen by chance.
 
BTW, not a current event.
The current zeitgeist is all about magical thinking.

But enough about Walt and the terrible state of his financial health.
I drive a Yaris, and have more than enough in my Roth to comfortable retire.

It is not insane to wait until a stock regains its value before selling it.
You are assuming the stock will regain its value. If he bought it on margin, he is having a margin call. That means he is having to pay more in to keep the stock(good money after bad). The interest on the margin used to be small, these days it is a real thing.

And he is losing time. If he waits 10 years for the stock to get to the price he wants, he could have put the money into a growing investment for those 10 years.

It is a tough decision. You do not want to sell at the worst of the panic, but the worst of the panic has passed. Now people are calculating how bad RCL is.

Yes, the Golden Rule is the commandment for Christians.
Sadly, for people such as yourself, the "golden rule" is "he who has the gold makes the rules."

No, WWW, the Golden Rule is Biblical, treat others as you would have yourself treated

The man who has the gold is making the rules.

You are just jealous because you have very little gold (wealth), WWW.
 
When we allow the "winner" to make all the rules, and to remake them as he pleases, he will make the rules to always be the winner. Our civilization will become stagnant and stale, and will then wither.


I am actually doing well enough.
You don't allow anything, WWW. The winner makes the rules because he/she is the winner.

Sure, you are doing well, WWW...sure.

Magical thinking is how you alt lefties get through the day.

Wally, a Yaris is the perfect vehicle for alt leftie protests.
Side question: how many clowns can you fit into one of those things on your way to a no kings parade?

Once again, Wally, after your previous financial debacle, I doubt many here will be consulting you for investment advice.
