Lies, damned lies and statistics

I curse the day that I bought shares. I bought them in combination with an house mortgage. And before you laugh at my naivety. I’ve done rather well thank you very much. Especially when you consider the amount of financial and economical crises we’ve had the past eight years. Thank god my cynicism protects me from grave blunders. But still I wished I hadn’t begun the ultimate game of greed. I can’t help it, but I have to check the indexes regularly and gloomy financial news frightens the hell out of me every time. On April the 29th I had a big scare when I saw the infographic on the frontpage of the Volkskrant.
