Voltaire and Jim Willie - My husband thanks you both for his plane. Here's another success story for you both.
My husband wanted to be a pilot and own a plane since he was a small boy. He got his pilot's license at 19 but he had to wait for his 46th birthday on March 12th for his plane.
Last fall I had $10,000 in the plane account and had been following you both on the QCOM board when I finally plucked up courage to buy 1 QCOM call (against all advice from my Merrill Lynch broker). One call led to another and nobody will forget QCOM Day on Dec 29th when I had the grand total of 8 calls.
I sold on Dec 31st and bought an assortment of calls with mixed results but, on the whole, they just kept going up. As the size of the account increased, so did the size and price of my husband's dream plane! I finally put a limit both on the size of the plane and it's price. If not, I'm sure I'd be working my way towards a Lear Jet.
I followed you both over to the Porch and now my husband's second question when he gets home from work is "What did Voltaire and Jim Willie say today?" His first question is always "How did the plane account do today?"
A couple of weeks ago the plane account reached the goal of $250,000 and off he went to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to check out a Cessna 303 Crusader. Of course he bought it!
We both wanted to let you know what a difference you have made to our lives. To Hans' life, because he finally has his plane after 40 years. To my life, because I no longer have to listen to him harping on about it <g>.
Also, $10,000 to $250,000 in 4 months wasn't bad going for a beginner and I'm wondering what I can make once I know what I'm doing. Please keep up the good work Voltaire, Jim Willie and all the other Porch Dwellers - we appreciate it more than you know, especially on the bad days!
With thanks,
