*******Way OFF TOPIC*****

Garcia,
I'm restating this because......
I have been where you are right now. I don't have the iron stomach to watch these INTERNUTS, but I understand. I actually lost our down payment on our house, ONCE!...it was awful. I was invested in some really risky options......"going for the JUGGLER" is what I told myself......if these things pay-off we'll be in a MANSION! Of course all things that go up, must come down, I couldnt sleep, eat, leave the computer. Needless to say, the options expired worthless.....lost a bundle! I will not live like that again.
Every once in a while, I have to make a bonehead trade like I did today to remind myself that today is one day out of 20 years of investing. Ten years from now, today will only be a spec on a chart.
Nothing any of us can say will make it better, but trust all of us.....
wether any of the rest of us are willing to admit it, we have ALL BEEN THERE.
Everyone on this thread is part of the CPQ family. I equate this to playing golf......you can go out and shoot the round of your life (like a 72).....but it isn't near as enjoyable as shooting 82 with your buddies!
I read this thread to find out about CPQ first......secondly to catch up on what everyone else is doing.
I look forward to meeting everyone at 50PAQ
Hang in there, keep your chin up, and we'll lift a beer at 50PAQ!
