As for my investing efforts and break-even, I'd say I still win because when I next come back to the market, I'll be smarter about what companies I buy, and when. I surely agree with that. You received an education at no cost. I just never liked the current tax structure on capital gains compared carry forward capital losses. I actually was lucky in 1996 and 97 and maded a decent sum in the market. I had to pay my capital gains on that. Then I had the losses since 1998 and I can only deduct $3K per year. I can't change the law but I do not have to like it<G> Thanks, Glenn. Yes, my house, when I find it, will not be my home until I get in there put my personal touches on it. You are abolutely correct. Have you noticed most houses are listed as "homes for sale." House for sales sounds kind of cold so clearly it is a marketing ploy. Oh well...a little complaining on my part. I do not know where you live but I believe the housing market is weak in this area which allows for a decent value on a house.
