@Ben Leybovich I think this is a great topic to talk about. It seems this thread spans both sides of the scale. I for one deal with extreme highs and lows with emotion and find that RE and REI are a calming factor, due to the fact that you almost forcibly have to remove emotion from the decision process. I get very excited when I think I have found THE deal only to end up paddling a boat down the river of disappointment and tears(or stress sweat) when the deal evaporates or ends up being nothing more than "smoke and mirrors".
To expand on life's larger issues...well again without oversharing my opinion; I see this world is turning out to be a large pit of snakes willing to bite each other just to get a little closer to the top. There are great people out there no doubt (Read:awesome BP community) but there is a vast majority of people who are incredibly self-serving. In South Florida they are arresting anyone for feeding homeless people. Crazy right? We as Americans should understand that we grow and gain together. I would love to succeed in a larger market such as Miami but without BP I would not see it happening. Unless I had huge portfolio and cash coming out of my ears.
Again, I thank you for this thread! It allows us to talk about what makes us "us". Further strengthening the framework for outstanding partnerships. Cheers
