When I worked in real estate, I had to deal with the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg on a daily basis, and I learned their biggest fear wasn't losing money, but realizing that they didn't make the greatest deal in the history of the world. I'd say "look, if you invest $500,000 you'll make $2.5 million in 90 days," and their fear that they'd miss out on a deal wherein they'd spend $500k and make $2,500,001 would paralyze them into making no deal at all. And they did this FUCKING CONSTANTLY.
The Joe the Plumbers are the Williamsburg Hasidic Jews of America, passing turn after turn of Scrabble in the hopes that they'll magically get to play ZYGOTES on a triple-word score with a 50-point bonus, passing up about 250 points while their opponent buries them.
