Who isn’t having thoughts of Dow Jones here? These five slickered cowboys on the trail? Certainly not. But what about us? We who are looking at this painting. Are we thinking of clipping coupons? Of bulls and bears? Markets, I mean, not critters. If the cowboys are talking IRAs, they’re in the wrong business. If, as we look at this sun shower, curtaining its way across the mountainside, we find ourselves wondering about indices and indicators, then we’re not really looking at G. Harvey’s painting at all, are we? We’re meant to lose ourselves, including our portfolios, in the infinite confines of the canvas.
