I should probably log onto my retirement accounts and just shift everything into cash." Well, I didn't. Instead I just ponied up to the bar for another Black Label.

Probably the most expensive drink I've ever had...
Same for me. I flew on a beautiful clear night around the same time from the Gulf of Mexico over Houston for DFW. Amongst the lights something was very odd just offshore. A huge number of ships were lit up and anchored offshore with no business to carry on with. I thought, "oh sheet, sell everything". Nope, wandered off on some other tangent after landing since my attention span is slightly better than my Yellow Lab's.
