    More like "wad of cash in my pocket" type of guy.

    The future is uncertain. No matter what you do it will not go exactly as planned. Learn to accept that and then you can learn to deal with it.

    Did your "worst case scenario" include the collapse of Lehmann and the resulting panic? Thought not. Then the time is better spend making money than trying to predict the future.

        You have to plan the future so you can traverse the rocky path and take plans to avoid rockfalls along the way. Only a blind man enters a cave with Wim121.
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

          I disagree.
          You have to stay agile enough to traverse an ever changing rocky path. And wear a hard-hat (cash buffer) if you are afraid of rock falls.

              You need to know the direction though, otherwise you'll be lost.

                Contractors don't need direction.
