That's pretty awesome for your friend. I was talking to my brother in law the other day and he had a similar experience. Bought in low and sold a while ago, but then bought back in at a low point and I have a feeling now he is feeling pretty good. I hope your first week off from work has been productive for you. If not productive relaxing. I think a lot of our issues these days is that we are almost programed to have an adversary. At least in America you can see it throughout history and while it might not be a military threat now, it has once again turned internal and we are divided one side versus the other. Nothing positive can ever come from this as long as we are divided.
Division between the masses only ever helps consolidate the control into fewer hands. It might not be a cabal that is organising it, but those alignments of incentives we were talking about the other day are causing a lot of divisions. The media benefits from division. Corporations benefit from it. governments benefit from it. The only ones who don't, are the divided.
Very true!
