THIS IS MY FIRST SI POST.TO ALL,THANK YOU for your valuable information and insight. But I would especially like to thank VOLTAIRE for your uncanny sixth-sense. You seem to be right on the money with your forecasts and intuition.
I have been "lurking" (seems to be a popular term around chat rooms, but I think that it sounds "sinister" for some reason) for several months. I am 36 years old, single, and live in a Chicago suburb. I have several small businesses, including a Rolls-Royce limousine business. I went back to college to get a degree in Health Science/Pre-Med to become a surgeon. I plan on applying to med school next year. I am having so much fun trading that I will wait to apply. I started trading with an Etrade (hisssssss...!) account while I was finishing school. I had to keep a high GPA in order to get accepted to med-school, so after I finished studying (around 1am), I would start doing online research and place my orders for the next day. Sometimes I would be up all night !!! I read a few books on options and just dove in head first! I averaged about 100% ROI per month. I thought that I must be doing something illegal...how could I double my money every month? Well, now I manage a fund for an offshore account in Monaco. And, Voltaire, I had to tell you how much I appreciate you keen sense of judgement in DELL and AOL. In fact, I BECAME A PAYING MEMBER OF SI TONIGHT JUST SO I COULD POST THIS AND THANK YOU !!! Hope you continue to "share" with us your "gift" of market insight.
To all other DELL posters on the thread (WBM, F.E. Morris, etc.), A MOST SINCERE THANK YOU !!!
It is said, "You cannot shine a lantern to light another's path without also illuminating your own." I truly believe that what you do in life (good & bad) comes back to you. I feel like I have known all of you for years, just by spending so much time on this thread. Well, I have rambled on long enough already. Please feel free to email me directly (detailMD@aol.com) or through SI. Let's continue to prosper through positive karma and shared insights!!!
From the heart,
-Steve |
