Investing as a sport?

I said last week that money doesn't generally buy happiness, butthe lack of it can buy absolute misery. This, by the way, is notjust my personal observation. It is the conclusion of some ofthe most respected happiness researchers (Yes, there is such athing -- read my book.)The trouble is that we have to pay attention to money more whenwe lack it than when we have it. This doesn't seem fair, but theLord works in mysterious ways. Most people are invested in thestock market, either directly or through mutual funds, pensionplans or some other vehicle.

So it is hard not to be part of thePanic Crowd. But I ,in all my financial wisdom, have two goldenrules to offer. These may not make you rich, but they will keepyou happy.Number One: Place your investments in the safest vehiclespossible (Do as I say, not as I do!) and forget about them. Whenthe next recession ends, take inventory and see that you stillhave investments. Most of us don't get a rush out of watchingour investments plunge or yo-yo up and down.

Most people arehappier when they forget they even have investments.Number Two: If you are one of those people with a terminal caseof Itchy Trading Finger, then you probably would not be happyignoring your investments. Place aside what you need for thelong term, such as retirement if your heart lasts that long.Don't play with this money. Don't touch it. Trade only with"extra" money. The rest of you are asking, "What's that?", butItchy Trading Fingers know what I'm talking about.

They viewstock trading as a sport.In fact, stock trading is a sport. Much more than, say,hunting. Think about it. In a sport, two equal opponents squareoff against one another. "Let the best one one win." Each facesthe same challenges.

Each is armed with the same weapons. Eachhas an equal chance of feeling the thrill of victory and theagony of defeat (unless, of course, you happen to be the TampaBay Devil Rays).Imagine the play-by-play if hunting truly was a sport: "Man isclosing in. He's coming up from behind and rounding to the southside. He's raising his rifle. Deer doesn't even appear tonotice.

Oh, I can't watch. This is going to be a massacre.Wait! Deer has just bucked up and twisted. He spins around atree, and -- look! Deer has a rifle too. He aims. He shoots!He Kills!!! Man is down.

What an upset, ladies and gentlemen."In real life, Deer doesn't win very often. In fact, I estimatethat Man is about 4.3 gazillion times more likely to be defeatedby his own team mate than by the opposition. We call this"friendly fire".Contrast this to Itchy Trading Finger, who stands an equal chanceof striking gold or of moving into a cardboard box on the streetcorner. The stock market truly is sport, for those who choose totreat it that way. Which is why it is so important to put aside-- in safe, secure investments -- the money you feel you need foryour future.

That way, when Itchy Trading Fingers retire, theycan move out of the cardboard box.For the rest of us, we are happier getting our sport watchingmonster trucks crush WWF actors. Oops! There I go again, mixingmy sports and my metaphors, not to mention ignoring severalfederal safety standards. May your investments be safer than myWWF friends, and may you sleep well at night..
