It's a very good idea for all of us to occasionally reflect on the reasons why we're here, or better yet, the reasons that keep us here. For me, it's the people, and as much as I like growing, I'm unable to invest at the moment, which is fine with me. I was letting it bug me, but then I thought about what's really important to me here, and the whole investing thing didn't seem like such a big deal.
Thanks Dave for cutting to the chase so well :)
I agree completely... at first it seems bad to get a very small number... but when you realize you never did it for the money, it is not a big deal at all... And the good thing is we are all in the same boat... In fact we are actually gaining against the whales!
