It's like that flight to LA, planning to jump out over Phoenix because that's what you really want. You're completely focused on the parachute, and you should have simply taken the flight to Phonenix and you wouldn't need the parachute.
That's assuming there's not a market correction when you're on your way to Phoenix and now you're stuck in Kansas City - I'd rather have guarantees and predictability, but it's not an either or thing, it never is...
