Hi Ed - public apologies (unsolicited, sincere, no joke). I shouldn't post that kind of off topic garbage on the thread.

Just fed up to eyeballs with all the personal attacks going on.

But participating in kind is a fools condemnation.

I apologize.

Anyways, good for you on the recent blip up. It must be a good feeling after seeing so much more evaporate in the previous months. If you want to view gains & losses this way.

Me? I didn't make anything today. Didn't lose a dime either. 'Cause I didn't cash anything out.

To me, what happens day to day in the middle of a position is academic at best. To me only matters on entry & exit.

Farther back along the path, I got over being excited enough about a $10K or $100K change in hypothetical portfolio value in a day to post about it (although I admit that the "up days" felt good and the "drops" were sickening!)

Sure, we want more up than drop. Here's to it. I actually have a long term bullish view in general - although majority of big cap tech stocks appear priced against full participation.

IMHO, the market's unstable right now, and likely to continue for some weeks. With my personal bias towards capital preservation, I'd rather miss some of a run up than experience a meltdown. And it could go either way in a blink.

And it bears repeating: I regret the weakness of character demonstrated in my prior post.

John.
