Wow. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
RO, I don't know why you think everyone here is bitter. I'm a pretty happy person. Stock options. Yeah, that's not really earned money…For example, a company gave my wife free money simply by being in the right place at the right time. Regardless of how much of it is, it's still that. Free money. Why do people think stock options are something one "earns"??? It's a crap shoot at a rollette table. Just like if you happen to have been an owner and cashed out at the peak in 2004 (which we did as well). Another crap shoot.
I guess for me, because I'm an older buzzard these days. I don't take much of life too seriously.
I'm really impressed by some of the entrepreneurs (BYOB types). I'd wish they post more and talk about their experiences both up and down. If you're someone that can consistently spot opportunity, well my hats off to you. So RO, if your still posting, where's the next gold mine? Inquiring minds want to know 🙂
