Gambling...I Got This! Poem by Celia AmanteaSchulz

So, I really like the stock market.
I buy low and sell a little higher...
at least that's the concept.

but then I feel greed-
I buy again because I feel some
momentum and anticipate a higher profit.
Quick and dirty
Easy money; a couple computer clicks

A quick pulse..a shot of thrill.

And then it drops
and drops...again!

Ok, they aren't going to get me.
I got this.
Buy more, dilute the loss, quickly, quickly,
Down again!
Fret. Fret. Buy again. Dilute. Dilute!
I'm over my head.
Cut my losses.
I can't take the stress.
Why am I so greedy.
I never learn.
Keep my tidbit.
Be happy with what I have.
I sell to cut my losses and my nerves calm.

Then I wait for the next opportunity to cause myself stress!
