?Phil Moore was in the stands on October 9, 2008, and when Candice, joined by Roberto Luongo and Alex Burrows, presented the Bourdon family with Luc?s jersey, he came up with a plan.
When ? not if ? but when I win the Canucks For Kids Fund 50/50, I?ll give back.
?I just knew I was going to win sooner or later,? said Moore, a real estate agent and Canucks season ticket holder. ?I visualized it over and over again, winning and handing out this big cheque.
?If you?re in the shootout and you?re skating down the ice, you have to visualize your move and visualize scoring. If you visualize something over and over again, it just happens.?
And, wouldn?t you know it, it happened.??
?The last quarter of real estate was the toughest in 24 years, there were periods where we spent more than we made,? explained Moore. ?The majority of the winnings will go to pay bills, but it was a unanimous decision within the family that we didn?t want a vacation or anything, we?d rather give a chunk back to help out as much as possible.?

Nice of him to give some back.
Interesting word from the trenches regarding market conditions.
Also, noteworthy for the magical thinking, something common to a good percentage of market participants.
