This is a business. Would you fire your staff on Monday morning because of a dream? Of course not, so why apply that to your portfolio? Dreams are a review of the day, week or other short period of time leading up to your deep sleep. If you are listening to a podcast, clearly you were internalizing the message and dreamt of it. Too bad your husband didn't display enough discipline for the both of you. Stay out of stocks and invest in tangibles that have less emotional rides, like art or real estate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412751410043909389.post-5438745129166194952008-12-03T11:05:00.000-08:002008-12-03T11:05:00.000-08:00I remember you telling me about that dream. Not all of our dreams come true but it's the ones we feel WILL come true that do. I think you were on to something and totally did the right thing. If you'd hung on you would be screwed now. I was watching a guest on the Daily Show a few weeks ago saying that the up and down swings of the market--all the highest percentages of down AND up happened in 1936, during the Depression. Now the same swinging is going on, it's not a question of selling on a down or up day--it's a question should you keep your holdings in a volatile market and you trusted your instincts. The last people I would trust would be brokers!<BR/><BR/>I had a similare type of dream right after I was first pregnant. I had a vivid dream I was at a stadium with a child in a stroller and another child was running around and needed his diaper changed. I was alone and couldn't handle both of them while I changed the diaper so I had to ask a stranger to watch the child in the stroller while I changed the other one. During the dream I felt panicked at the thought of being alone with two children. I woke in a cold sweat, shaking, and told myself "it's okay, you're just panicked, you're only having ONE child, so no worries." (Obviously this was before my first ultrasound which discovered twins.)Theresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10515444439567930489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412751410043909389.post-72577108165267115582008-11-25T05:30:00.000-08:002008-11-25T05:30:00.000-08:00awesome. post.
