It happens to us all. None of us our going to die or have posted on the ol’ tomb-stone. Then meditate or pray about the motive behind them. That break allows me to forget about all the things going on and it refocuses me. Ultimately motivation is all about feelings, having the pleasure and avoiding the pain.

Think about it, on an inflation-adjusted basis the return of all major US stock indices over the past fourteen years (1999 – 2013) has actually been negative. And to top it all off, how about governmental policy and tone that if not outright hostile to the plight of the equity investor, is at its best supremely indifferent to it?
