I think Marty is referring to worrying about needing to be up when the market closes, not the prick measuring political contest.

Edit: I see his reply, that is what he meant. I agree that I get the same vibe from some of Hurricanes post that he is paying attention to the ticker a little too closely.

I actually pay attention closely because that's part of my daily fun .... checking the Dow and Zillow to monitor the fluctuations on our 401k and investment properties.  It's not every day that one can save $3.99 on a BOGO item at Publix but turn around and lose $15,000 on their net 401k balance.

... to me it's an escape from what I do (review & negotiate contracts) for 10 hours per day at work.   5 more decent years and I think we'll be free to rent out our primary home (in addition to our other homes) and travel --- there has to be more to life than my daily A1A-JTB-Gate Parkway life.   At least I hope

..all is good
