"Think about it!  If you could turn those tears into... like... money, you'd be SO lucrative right now!"

So much humor and irony in that quote.

A lot of our choices in life are governed by laws of investment.  It's a limited quantity.  So we try to bring out the best and the most life has to offer.  We don't have any control over some of the things we invest that time in, but as much as possible, we have to consider where we're putting our life.  Is my portfolio diversified?  Am I getting the kind of short/long term return on these various investments that I want?  There's something to be said for those high-yield short-term, risky investments.  But they can't be the foundation.  And you can't ride them forever.  When the time comes, you have to call a spade a spade.  Bubbles burst.

Usually they burst on their own, but sometimes crooked executives jump ship right after they dump all their stock and push their companies over the edge, sending the ceiling crashing down on all the dawdlers.

I'm going to get so Enron on this shit.
