[Groop] A story not unlike Sergio's....

[Chris.Emmett at uk.standardchartered.com]

>I was reminded of this anecdote tonight.  I was having dinner with a 
business acquaintance at the Olive Garden and he mentioned, in a relaxed 
manner, that he just lost $150,000 in the stock market in the >last two 
months.  He just kind of fluffed it off, like it was nothing (oh, if only 
we could all do that!).  Not ten seconds after telling Janet and I this, 
he looked down and noticed he got spaghetti sauce on his >white shirt, at 
which point he went into an angry fit and was upset for a good two minutes 
over the fact his shirt is probably ruined.

Was it *his* money he lost on the Stock Market? 
I work in the City here and it's common to hear people going on about how 
much money they deal in as a source of personal pride but it's never their 
money.
