In fact, a proposed law that WOULD have required that you accept it was recently defeated in NH. 

And lastly... the tell tale sign of defeat is when people start measuring up their worth with money.You made 59 Billion dollars in 1 week.OMG awesome.Me.. not so spectacular as you.I just make paraplegic people walk again using my mind!

Illiquid assets like real estate (or even insurance) at least help to insulate the average investor against this self-defeating behavior.There are long-term trends in asset classes that make them relatively cheap or expensive at any given time, in a historical context.

This would have been very helpful in defeating my fears. 

It would defeat the purpose searching so hard for great deals.

Please read and help if possible...The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association sent out this newsrelease today following the defeat of SCA 4 in the SenateGovernance and Finance Committee.

The backyard of the house was fenced, and there was no flag as to boundary issues until someone walked up to me while I started renovating, and showed me the real bondary.Very sorry to hear your story Femi, but do not let it defeat you.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Good luck!

I am definitely feeling kind of defeated in this market at this point.
