As I said in Part I everyone in the insane asylum looks normal, but at least the doctors are sane. Unfortunately, in the insane asylum known as the stock market all the doctors (brokers) are also insane.
The doctors in the insane asylum went to medical school to learn how to treat the patients so the could get well. On Wall Street you go to as it will not tell you if a stock is going to go up. Buy and Hold is taught the wrong way. It is OK to Buy and Hold as long as the stock is going up, but not when it goes down. No broker is taught how to protect a customer's money.
When I was a floor trader I learned in a hurry not to hold on to somethingthe doctor (broker) who is supposed to help you become financially well, maybe none of these Wall Street experts ever learned their profession. They have all been taught the three great prescriptions that make no sense at all: Do Your Research, Buy and Hold and Dollar Cost Averaging. This is what the brokerage houses teach.As I said previously research is worthless,

Jack Vettriano Ritual of Courtship

And the excitement increased on every side. The Children left their machines and their labours; those who were asleep woke up; and every eye was eagerly and anxiously turned to the great opal doors at the back, while every mouth repeated the same name. The word, "Time! Time!" was heard all around; and the great mysterious noise kept on. Tyltyl was dying to know what it meant. At last, he caught a little Child by the skirt of his dress and asked him. Light now hastened towards our little friends in a great state of alarm:
"I was looking for you," she said. "Come quick: it will never do for Time to discover you.”
As she spoke these words, she threw her gold cloak around the Children and dragged them to a corner of the hall, where they could see everything, without being seen.
Tyltyl was very glad to be so well protected. He now knew that he who was about to "Let me be," said the Child, very uneasily. "I'm in a hurry: it may be my turn to-day.... It is the Dawn rising. This is the hour when the Children who are to be born to-day go down to earth... You shall see....Time is drawing the bolts....” "Who is Time?" asked Tyltyl. "An old man who comes to call those who are going," said another Child. "He is not so bad; but he won't listen or hear. Beg as they may, if it's not their turn, he pushes back all those who try to go.... Let me be! It may be my turn now!"

Granny had not time to finish her sentence. The Children were in her arms!... What joy! What wild kisses and huggings! What a wonderful sand so unexpected to meet again like this. When the first excitement was over, they all began to talk at once:
"How tall and strong you've grown, Tyltyl!" said Granny.
And Grandad cried:
"And Mytyl! Just look at her! What pretty hair, what pretty eyes!"
And the Children danced and clapped their hands and flung themselves by turns into the arms of one or the other.
At last, they quieted down a little; and, with Mytyl nestling against Grandad's

comfortably perched on Granny's knees, they began to talk of family affairs:
"How are Daddy and Mummy Tyl?" asked Granny.
"Quite well, Granny," said Tyltyl. "They were asleep when we went

Swatland Looking Towards Catalina

climbing trees, touch football, and such. I felt I wasn’t the girly type and couldn’t really relate to the girls in my school or neighborhood. But as I got into my pre-teen years, I started to shy away from my tomboyish tendencies due to my ever increasing curves thanks to good all Puberty. Also, growing up in an Indian household, my father, almost on an hourly basis, would try to discourage me from having any friendships with boys. So to play it safe, I stayed in my room, surrounded by books. I became sort of a .
As the years went by, almost all my friends were guys, (despite good ol’ dads objections) and I had a handful if not less than a handful of friends that were girls. Even then I just couldn’t get into the whole female friendship dynamics. Though there was one girl I met in junior high school that really is my longest friendship with the female species. She was my best friend for a few years, until we went to different schools and started to lose touch.
During high school was great having guy friends who I could talk
