RE: "Got my come-uppance though--my folks' broker introduced me to the wonderful world of options (gag). After a few shots with options, I found out that I was indeed mortal--a very humbling experience. My point in all of this is that, even though the market was lousy, there were scores to make if you placed your bets wisely and did your homework." It sounds like our stock market experience is very similar, except I started just a couple of years earlier. Like you, I tried my hand at call options (in the early 1970s, I think). My first few trades were unbelievalby profitable, considering the very small amount I was "investing" at the time. Then I ran into a huge loser - - that taught me what the options game is all about. I haven't traded options since. Unlike you, my early market timing efforts were only marginally profitable. I found that my most successful method was to dollar-cost average into quality growth stocks over a period of many years. Best wishes, I2
