if
If…
(with apologies to Rudyard Kipling)#If you can keep your shares when all about you
Are selling theirs, and telling you “Sell too”.
If you can trust your savvy when all doubt you,
But with your postings make them nervous too.If you can wait, and hold, with real devotion,
And being ridiculed just not respond.
If you feel safe to keep the shares you’ve chosen,
And shrug away all thoughts of being wrong.If you can find the strength to watch your profit
Erode from all the stocks and shares you’ ve bought.
If you stay calm and keep your fingers off it -
Forget the “rules of trading” you’ve been taught.If you can see no economic blunders,
If you can turn your back upon the bears,
If you are really sure your shares are wonders,
You simply have to keep, and ramp, those shares.If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With watching Markets fall and traders run,
You’ll put your earnings and life-savings in it,
And, which is more, you’ll soon be broke, my son.
