I feel like I should, but to be honest, as I recently told a friend, I've been actively inactive in the market for several months now.

Placed a lot of GTC buy orders on what I felt were good companies, at what I felt were "stupid" prices, got a surprising number of fills, and am content to just sit on them and too busy to trade.

I need to check your alias history since you brought up JXM. Were you part of our SIPF crew on MSN Messenger during the bubble? I see your name a lot but haven't checked to see if maybe I know you better than I thought I did.

ACAS? I'm SO embarassed about that one and got dealt quite a bit of pain on it. Still own it. But am not optimistic and I'd never use the word "hopeful", as I think it's extremely inappropriate when talking about stocks.

One of my biggest surprises, though, was having taken a sizable flyer on BAC and having it work out far better than I'd expected.

I know why you like when I post about stocks or options, though. When I post about a position I've taken, it jinxes it, so it's easy money to take the opposite position.

Edit: Looked at your alias history! So nice to know you've actually been around here all this time! I thought you'd vacated the premises!
