In other words my \"Very Important Money\", VIM, was spending way too much time in cash and not reaping the benefits of a market investment strategy. This was because of a very human emotion, fear.  I was afraid to expose my safety stash to loss. Even though my training and knowledge said I should do otherwise.  I set out to create a system I call 80\/80.
