No Gloating

Great hand

________________________

Sometimes we are dealt a great hand. It’s important to endeavour to make good use of it “whilst the sun shines,” etc., etc., but it’s also a great excuse to reflect on personal responsibility and even gratitude.

There’s very few of us who visit these here internets who are not hard working and deserving of well-earned success.   There’s nothing wrong with assaying how far you’ve come as a result of personal sacrifice, ingenuity, and sweat equity– and, correspondingly–nothing wrong with giving yourself an attaboy (girl) for sticking it out and getting it done.

As long as we realize that’s not the primary goal.  

We’re here a short time, and there’s plenty to do.   Staring into the sun or the mirror are equally useless activities, albeit harmless if performed in small doses.  

Better for you in the long term, however, may be this prescription — if you’ve climbed the mountain, you might think about what you can do set the next schlub up to do the same.  

After all, just from a strictly aerobic standpoint alone, there are plenty of mountains and plenty of schlubs out there to keep you busy.

Beats golf, anyway.

I did finally end up getting some TNA today, albeit late.  I was running around in meetings this morning and missed the open, so I waited til almost 3 pm and got in at $36.18 and $36.28 — a full dollar higher than the open, which is where The PPT told me to get in.  

Lesson learned — never second guess The PPT.

I also increased my position in ENTR by a bit at the dreadful number of $6.66.   I will try not to read into that one too much.

You know what happened with silver and gold.   ANV in particular was really looking good.  Let’s not gloat.

Best to you all.

    Jake!

    You are a generous and patient guide – I’m grateful for all you have shared here and in the “hallowed halls” of the PPT.. it’s wonderful and I have learned much.

    Many, many thanks.

    If I am not permitted to gloat, well then, who will do it?

    And there are many amongst those unknowing of the truth and unfair ones (irresponsible ones) who are mocking (gloating) if a calamity befalls you, and are saddened if goodness and wellbeing comes to you, but do not heed their evil inclinations, because they are unknowing and unfair and do not know what they do, and truly you can only show them compassion since they are going into confusion; do not however turn yourselves away from them, rather show them goodness and love and attempt to instruct them in the right attitude (behaviour) of their thoughts and feelings as well as in their assessment of things, so that they turn away from their wrong doing and enjoy right and fairness (responsibility).

    ANV and SLW close green despite a dollar that’s a nickel short of $83 (and the 50-day MA).

    De-coupling continues.
