I just (around 6:30 am over here) got an electric shock (220 V over here) and am not sure what effect that has on the quality of my "stock picking". I touched a lamp in my bathroom that I had been too lazy to repair or replace (my temporary solution of bending the cables away from the hot light bulb that had burned away parts of their insulation was obviously non-optimal). I am quite awake now though ...

Had the shock been lethal I would have left you with my "fund" being up around 50% since its initiation had it not been for the non-beneficial effects of those DSCO shares and put option hedges ...

I think I will interpret this as a sign (hehe) to finally make a few visits to doctors that I should have made a few years ago (cardiologist (pulmonary valve insufficiency), dermatologist (I should go every 6 months and last went about a decade ago ...), gastroenterologist (Barrett's oesophagus, (I should go every 12 months and last went about 5 years ago ...)), otolaryngologist (allergies), ...). I did not skip the dentist ...

And maybe I will take a little vacation (I should go every 12 months and last went about 5 years ago ...). So if there are no "fund trades" I am either terminally ill or on vaction ...

I hope you get well soon, friend.

Had it been a radioactive spider you might have acquired super powers, but maybe the shocked increased your IQ...

Perhaps by the time you return the "fund" will be +50% without exclusions!

Best wishes. I look forward to your return to CAPS, whenever that is.

The last time I got zapped by 220v, I got an erection that lasted more than 4 hours. I didn't call a doctor-  I called my friends.  Luckily I had a nurse nearby.

Replace the lamp!!!

So what is your take on DSCO these days? the next three months should see some major moves to the (hopefully) upside no?

Perhaps the "wake-up call" we all need every so often... : ) I will keep an eye on your picks to see if I notice any inconsistencies.

No more shocks :) I was an electrician's assistant as a job while in college and I got shocked on a 480 V Bus Panel (pulling fish tape through some conduit and the panel was not shut off, even though we were told it was). It was a nasty shock, could have easily been lethal if I was less fortunate.

Hope the doctor visits go well!
