Perhaps it's the pseudo-celebrity status that came with my <a href="http://mojohd.com/mojoseries/wallstreetwarriors/warriors/view/tim">TV show</a> or the $300,000+ personal loss I took on an investment I truly believed in, but I never get starstruck anymore. Not with celebrities and definitely not with companies. And as an investor, you can learn from this. I'll explain.<br /><br />While at the festival, I bumped into "celebrity" Maria Bello, and my ability to have a casual conversation with her led to an interesting encounter highlighted by some flirting and several great pictures (see them all <a href="http://timothysykes.com/2008/02/25/reminiscences-of-a-stock-operator-maria-bello-and-me/">HERE</a>).<br /><br />Ms. Bello barely gave starstruck, incredibly crazed, fans the time of day; after all, nobody -- celebrity or not -- can really take anybody who's screaming and crying in awe of their presence very seriously. So, while it was a fun moment for me, I couldn't help but think how this related to the stock market.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/02/27/why-investors-should-never-get-starstruck/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Why investors should never get starstruck</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/02/27/why-investors-should-never-get-starstruck/">Why investors should never get starstruck</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:10:00 EST.
