  4. I really do have it made, according to my backtests, my system should not on average blow up until I am dead and gone. Thank g-d for actuarial tables.

    It's hard when you are young, you have a lot to overcome.

    But when you are old, it is a piece of cake (as long as you don't live too long.)

  5. I guess you're only planning to live another 5 to 10 years. I'm sure the US welfare system will go bankrupt some time after that. :D

  6. And should you live beyond those 5 to 10 years, you could always join the old women in Ukraine and get out on the street and sell cabbages.

  7. everybody talks about their "edge" I still don't understand what that is all about.

    It's the same for everybody, it's what you do with what you what you got that matters.

  9. sorry man I really messed that one up, I had to edit more times than usual. It was supposed to read "It doesn't matter what you have, what matters is what you do with what you have."
