What do I do? Well, In 1991 I sort of retired.....I decided to trade daily for a living.

Prior to that I was in TeleCom Engineering Management.

Over the years I had invested in a lucky fashion, and left Corporate Life with a fair sum that I traded with. I got blasted for a few years, then it came together.

Now I'm in a position where there is a fair sum of money I have to manage it would appear. Due to the fact that it shall be a conservative estate I cannot take the risks that normally would come easily.

So it ain't gonna be rocket science. I just have to take a fair amount of money and make more money with it. How tough can that be. I just cannot be aggressive with it.

It's a family issue. I cannot refuse the job. I imagine the proper approach is to be thankful. I grew up an immigrant's son in a poor neighborhood. Doing this for a living at my age would be a boon to anyone else.

The long and the short of it is that I may have to manage a 7 figure account. What can I do, say no? I really do have to learn how to position trade now. I think I can do that....what the heck, that's what most people do. It can't be that hard, can it?

Gee, even I have stock I bought 20 years ago....how bright do you have to be after all.

This is gonna suk........
