My personal portfolio is up more than 400% this year, lol.
I miss bars and friends, though. Can't wait to again be politely offered a car home after I've finished my seventh martini on an empty stomach
I gave up drinking, but I can imagine I'd be knee deep in Yamazaki/Suntory baths during these times if i hadn't.
Bear or bull?

I didn't bake much before having a kid, simply because I enjoy sweet treats wayyy too much. But now it's such a joyful activity to do with a toddler. I just pawn most of what we make off onto my husband to take to work. Heheheheh.
A few years ago when I was working out constantly, I would never eat anything the wife baked, with the exception of her mini lemon cakes/cup cakes. Now that I can't do shit from the chronic back pain, I eat whatever she bakes. Fuck it. I've lost every gain I ever made running and lifting. I am going to die fat, ugly, and in pain...but fat and ugly from fabulous baked goods.

Part of me feels bad for laughing at that, but only the part that doesn't react immediately/takes a minute to really think about it.

Laugh away, JP. I'm bitching about a first world problem. It does frustrate me, though. I worked my ass off, and I finally, for once in my life, was in fabulous shape and had some really good (for me) tone and definition. It took me about 10 years of dedication...and after about a year, it's gone. Like Pete Tong.

If I live to be an old granny, I will most certainly eat exclusively baked goods and chocolate treats.

I plan to go all Ron White and start the day with a good Scotch and maybe a pack of Camels.

I too am an ex smoker. It's a horrible habit, but it can also be very enjoyable.

I do not agree. I did come to believe the same over the years, but that was because of desensitization to it, not because it was actually pleasurable. I undid/changed all that mind fuckery by reading Allen Carr's 'The Easy Way'. Everything about it is gross!!

Fair points, all around. If it weren't so horrible from top to bottom, it would easily be a guilty pleasure for me.

I've been both. Sold all my equities in January and bought long-term Treasuries. Began buying equities again on 23 March, about an hour after the bottom, apparently. I'm feeling bearish now (ie, today), but we'll see what happens.
