Recent losses have sobered me up quite a
bit...oh I still have a chunk of NTII...but
I've halved all my positions. I was feeling
pretty good a couple weeks ago...account was
at a new high, Ariad had stopped going down...
then WHACK! (biotechs cooled off)
WHACK (magn's pex not approved)
WHACK (aria resumed it's decent).

A couple more hits like those and I'll be down
to even for the year...well, I had to take steps
to prevent further losses.

If I have to go into hiding...perhaps snag
some daytrading gains from a few momentum plays,
so be it. I'd like to have held on to full
positions in Mike's Microcap Madness...but
it was just time to retreat and regroup.
Market is a bit shaky--clearly that is true
today...and I'm happy I raised cash yesterday.

That said...NTII is bucking the trend...so that
is good, and I'm glad for you fellas, heck, on
a down day my account is actually up a couple
percent. But mainly I just feel much less confident
than I felt a couple weeks ago--sheepish might be
the right word.
