Qwik, You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Alice in Wonderland: "Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. I don't much care where. Then it doesn't matter which way you go."
"THE recognition of our own mistakes should not benefit us any more than the study of our successes. But there a natural tendency in all men to avoid punishment. When you associate mistakes with a licking, you do not hanker for a second dose, and of course, all stock market mistakes hit you in two tender spots -- your pocket book and your vanity...."
