hi Jeffrey, have I used "I dont understand a lot?" Oh well, I dare say there IS a lot I dont understand, but at least I think a lot!!! Anyway, I enjoy teasing, and very rarely take offense, but thanks for the explanation. I love this thread and the give and take, I think its great medicine for the ups and downs of the market. People like me who just got into stocks recently (I only did mutual funds until three years ago, then got ko,mcd and sle, and recently- this fall- sold sle which had done fine and got intc and usrx, feeling very brave, aggressive and smart. For a while it seemed wonderful, all that up up up but of course the last few weeks have been scary. ) Actually even though I say a lot of "dont understands" and whines, I am fascinated by the whole thing. Anyway I'm a Libertarian, and think the govt is going to take everything we have so we might as well play with it first! Lots of luck! Keep teasing! freeus |
