Look at cars that have hit telephone poles, most are dead center of the hood. people look at the pole that they want to miss and get it center up. (I kind of thought there was a pole magnet incorporated in the hood ornament.) As said above when trying to teach accident avoidance on track or road look where you want to go and many times that is where you will go. Never at what you want to avoid.

Trials is amazing. I'm just happy to zip up some rocks on a creek bed.

I disagree with this. Most cars that hit poles are so far out of control that the driver has no say in where it is headed. It is also often the result of the car being struck so the driver doesn't even have time to see the pole much less focus on it.
The majority of car vs pole/tree/upright structure are not frontal impacts anyway.

Your last statements are bang on though!

Last night? $70 a share? What??
sell! and buy back when it tanks, as it likely will soon

How long until you have held it for a year? Has the fundamental business changed in some way to justify the price increase? If not, it's not likely to last very long IMO.

I remember when my older brother's father-in-law retired and took a lump sum for his pension. He lost it all in the stock market within a year. Idiot. I think my brother and his wife still support them.
