"Hamartia" - noun [$10]
Hamartia means the fatal flaw leading to the destruction of the tragic hero or heroine.
Sentence: What is the hamartia of Hamlet? I argue a general greed created a lack of focus permitting multiple conflicting objectives: revenge against his father's murderer, desire to bring his mother down, and desire for the throne. The lack of focus caused him to dither and delay, make blunders, and miss opportunities. Unable to focus on a single objective, he completely bollixed up the entire effort.
About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

OBJECTION!!!...leading the witness
yes, there are too many ETFs.
Many should be eliminated, especailly the phony ones that don't actually own stocks (or gold/silver/etc.)
No futures, no derivatives.
I don't pay much attention to individual stocks anymore.
Just a few big ones that Mrs. B owns.
