…resupporting your decades-long views of the future while the market tells you loudly how stupid you are, you come to realize that writing down your thoughts at certain critical points can serve a purpose. But why must we always try so hard to be humble on the other side of the coin, if we write for therapy during the tough times, perhaps we can write in hope of regaining level-headedness during euphoric victories as well? Yin AND Yang, no?

It is with that in mind, we not only write when times are tough, but resolve to write when times a rosey too

This article is what’s typically known in certain parlors of Wall Street as a “Victory Lap”, and here we provide it shamelessly — but hopefully with a helpful spin. Let’s face it, in the modern world of “humble-brag” creatures, at least just do the thing out in the open and stop all the passive-aggressiveness which fools no one. Why not use exuberance energy for further analysis when it’s probably needed most (at a peak, not just the valleys).
