You know John... I told my banker about my experience when opening a new account with a $400K check, that I had to think of the money as numbers. I knew it was money that could buy a lot of stuff, but I made my self think in terms of numbers, percentages and not all the stuff that could be bought...
In that frame of mind it is easy to concentrate on the company press releases, financial info and product line to know whether or not they had any more gas left in the tank.
