This thread really makes me smile.
I do the same thing, every year. I call Sirius XM and beg them to lower the price.
What the heck is wrong with us? We are all pathologically cheap!
Sometimes, like today, when stocks are really moving, I go to my Schwab account and repetitively click the refresh button, to watch my net worth go up by thousands of dollars a second. Of course on other days, I watch it go down by thousands of dollars a second.
Then, when I finish those completely useless waste of time moments, I'll go to Costco, primarily to eat a $1.50 hot dog, or call Sirius to beg them for a 1 or 2 dollar a month discount.
It's (somewhat) reassuring to me that there are other BRK board posters who probably do the same thing.
Can't really stop all that nonsense, though. I think about the absurdity of this behavior a lot, and I came to a calming conclusion.
We can't change who we are.
