Yeah, same reason people buy race cars and boats. Despite the (sometimes) financial pain, most of us feel we get more out of it than we put in to it.

Our spouses/partners/others, however. do not always feel the same way!

Agreed. If you've got a long-term plan, individual securities are for the play money.

-------------------------

Mine: failed to buy Xerox (remember them? no? of course not), Walmart, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, et al. during the right time frames.

More to the point: failed to be all-in in an index fund in the market from 1982 onwards. I stayed in cash from 1981-2000. Sounds stupid, right? Yet, I still retired in 1994 (interest rates on cash were cray-zee from the early 80s until the mid-90s - for entertainment, look it up) and have been par-tayin' like it's 1985 ever since (my version of same, of course! ). Go figure.

OP, give it up – what's yours?
