The spirit of the speculator

A stock market speculator goes through the three virtues of faith, hope, and charity. With faith he rushes to buy stocks during a boom in July, then in September he hopes the market doesn't go lower as he reads the news of the market going down. Finally, he desperately begs for someone to buy his stocks during the crash.
