I know Charlie....I get myself hyped up...and my wife said she was going to start cutting out my shirt collars so I could get my head threw it.

In fact the whole idea is upsetting.

I got involved in this because of some of the posting I saw last summer on the Netscape thread. I had just completely sold off a trading position, and here all these guys were on the tread buy, buy, buy 'we're going to 60!'. I just had to get in SI and correct them.

I then started just posting my thoughts...what I was doing and why I was doing it. Hit ever turn...dead money. Got all those out who were listening above 40. Then called the turn a week before it happened and put a target of $15 on it as a re-entry point for me. Problem was I didn't re-enter...I opted to increase my Checkfree instead. I should have done the Netscape, problem is some did. Along with that I've had a lot of success and fun buying and trading other stocks.

I don't mind bumming around in SI with doc...he's my buddy. We talk out loud on threads......and go Stock shopping together on occasion. I think between us we've got at least a half dozen 50%er in the last few months. In fact some of the stuff we get ourselves into, I just have to laugh sometimes. Recently we went on PTVL. Look at the chart doc's stuck on the top of that spike. I got stopped out at $15, being conservative going for a 2 digit return in ten days.

And that for me is really what it is all about....having fun, and making some money. Because if this SI wasn't fun I wouldn't be doing it.

After looking over some of them postings in that section where they would like my comets.....it was sobering. That stuff is being written by some of the hitters here in SI. Therefore I don't think I'm qualified to say anything more than this.....
