Does anyone have any weird mood swings like this one??
I kid you not. When the dot.com bubble burst, between 2000 and 2003, on balance, I was miserable. When the gulf war started in 2003, I picked up, and have been on the whole, very happy ever since .... the mkts rallied, and have been riding high. Throughout the late 80s and 90s, I was always always happy. OK, I must say my girlfriend of 4 years dumped me in 2000, and I was fcuked up for a few years, and maybe I am just otherwise happy. But lately, even intra-month, I seem happier when the mkts are going up .... in May, I was unhappy (again, as an Arsenal fan I saw Chelsea win the league, which hurt, and went to Paris to see us beaten off by Barca). This is sub-concious, I have no money directly invested in it, and it's sort of noticeable back to childhood

There is a paper that is about to be published in the Journal of Finance that shows evidence of stock markets being affected by national moods. In particular, there is a statistically meaningful drop in stock markets in a given country (other than the USA) on the day following that country's elimination from the Soccer World Cup (the authors ignored the US -- because we don't care about soccer).
So -- maybe it isn't you -- maybe it is everyone around you.

Can you maybe post details of your mood on the web so that we can use it as an investment guide?

Stop reading newspapers, watching TV (news), listening to the radio and DEFINITELY stop going online. That should do it... oh right if you stopped going online you wouldn't be reading this sentence after I said "stop going online", oh well.
