| I don't know about the street, but I am doing well so far this year. If I can just take a page out of your book and demonstrate a little more patience, I could avoid many mistakes. This will be key to my performance this year. I have had only two major losing trades this year, but both of them were committed with larger (for me) positions of spx options. One was calls and one was puts <g>. Currently holding puts which are making money so far, and small positions in gold mining stocks which got killed today. You know SI is an incredible resource with so many knowledgeable, smart people to learn from whatever one's approach. Long, short, options, futures, commodities, turtles <g>, astrophysical, whatever - I love it, what a great way to make a living, what a country! tim |
