Berney: Kamikaze Bob appreciates your nick name.
<<<<BZ, I hope you appreciate my initials for you of KB.
There's no question that I invest more aggressively than you. Seems like I don't have Paul's patience or your vision. But I feel like I did fairly well for my first year (haven't totaled up accounts yet, but definitely made money in all accounts, some more than doubling). If not for two major pain giving screw-ups, would have done much better. But, hopefully there have been lessons learned that will not be repeated. As you say, if we're not here for the lessons its time to get out. The market does have a way of making me look at myself, and examining my own personality very closely...its one heck of a mirror!<g> Through all this I feel that I am finally developing my own investing style, and finding a comfort level. Really, I think that's what its all about.
So...in keeping with my last statement... I jumped into a couple stocks today. Took advantage of the dip to get some AOL, LU, and TXN. All are in the money by the end of the day. Rather than turn them over, I'm going to hold until they tell me otherwise.
And thank you for your help, council, and friendship.
