My wife likes to freak out about portfolio gains and losses. I don't care much either way. I have a long runway and probably 75% of my investments are in income producing real property and ranch property. In the market, I just invest and forget about it.
But she loves to check our porfolio and freak out about losses. I always think of this scene from Boiler Room when my wife texts me about a day's market losses:
Greg Weinstein: Now there’s two rules you have to remember as a trainee, number one, we don’t pitch the bitch here.
Seth Davis: What?
Greg Weinstein: We don’t sell stock to women. I don’t care who it is, we don’t do it. Nancy Sinatra calls, you tell her you’re sorry. They’re a constant pain in the ass and you’re never going to hear the end of it alright? They’re going to call you every fucking day wanting to know why the stock is dropping and God forbid the stock should go up, you’re going to hear from them every fucking 15 minutes. It’s just not worth it, don’t pitch the bitch.
