<<Rub it in, Hammy!
...actually, my job KEEPS me from making any real money in the market...I'm afraid to leave my shorts unattended>>

Well ZenFaust

I'll tell you a story which will explain why I quit my "job"
I used to work as an independent consultant (manage large databases for big 100 companies). While on the job watching other peoples affairs and their money I would be ignoring my stocks. So much so that i was unable to react to sudden changes in the market.

On one occasion in 1997 (October) it cost me about $100K in one day. For that day my "job" paid about $600.

I went home, surveyed the damage and swore not to ever let that happen again. I know its possible for me to lose that much in one day...but not while I'm taking care of other people's affairs.

So thats my story.

Its great to work in a T-shirt and jammies dude.
Its..GRRRREAT!!!
