In response to message posted by CatBird:Yeah CatBird, when I bought this computer it was running Windows 95, which was really quite impressive back in those days, but now it is so tired it can't even load Internet Explorer, I even closed out my accounts at etrade because I couldn't access them anymore via computer, I guess it is time for a new one.

In response to message posted by CatBird:The scary thing is Catbird, I am so cheap I am not going to buy until this old thing will totally just not work, so anytime they need new customers, all they have to do is eliminate my support.

In response to message posted by Rande:Yeah, Leonardi DaVinci tried this. He tried to reduce all life to mathmatics and admitted he failed. Mathmatics are a good guideline, but but if you try to replace gut instincts and common sense with mathmatics, you will miss out on some real gravy.

I guess it is all how you view man. If you think he will always screw up, you are better off going with just mathmatics.

In response to message posted by Rande:I just can't believe that a loving caring father and husband would mark days and times on his calendar when he is allowed to spend time with his wife and kids. Sometimes they need you, sometimes they don't. Surely being an investor is easier than being a father and husband, yet we think investors should have a structured schedule.

In response to message posted by PaulJoslin:

Paul,

Not sure I'm following the ramblin' man, but let's see. When it comes to personal financial planning, I've got a motto -- "If you hope to have any success in achieving your financial goals, it is crucial that you have a plan in place." Anything that promotes discipline and reduces the chances for emotion to take over when it comes to financial and investment decisions is, to me, a good thing. Now, if we're talking about more important non-financial matters such as parenting, then I've got another motto -- "The more hugs, kisses, and 'I love you's the better." There's always the risk of spoiling, but I do believe that much of the world's ills are the result of not enough love and attention as opposed to too much and nobody ever died regretting spending too much time with friends and family. Good luck to you.
