Let me answer your question by not answering it:
I ascribe to a certain approach to life that dictates that I am getting whatever is coming to me regardless of me trying to "game" the system.
Thus, if I am to make $10 today, I am going to make $10 and only $10. If I rob the corner store of $100 today to try and tweak that result, I'll simply lose that $100, say, tomorrow when a common stock I own goes down by a nickel. It all comes out in the wash.
Thus, after I decided it was the right thing for me (and I stress that) to wear a Yarmulka in my interviews that led to this particular job in this particular market, I don't entertain what could have happened if I had tried to, what for me was, game the system.
