Blitz let me tell you a story of greed,
Golden Rule buy at nine watchrun to 13 now .3
Bema bought at 8 ran to 12 now at one
I have probably picked far more winners then losers but have gotten greedy and ended up with far more losers. You think that I would be happy with a 33 % profit in less then a week but nooooooo I want yahoo I want Ebay. What I got was Bro-x Bought 1.88 watched run to 2.37 and well you probably no the rest of the story.

Greed is not Good.


That is my story exactly, I sometimes catch some real gems,
I get in, I am up a good amount, and then I watch my profits turn into a loss. If I traded shrewdly, and had no emotions,
I'd probably be retired by now LOL

I made a pact with the people in my office
(since starting my job there, I have gotten them hooked on trading,
my office is like a trading floor :))
Anyway, after we all watched our ALFN profits "disappear",
we made a rule, the next time and thereafter,
sell at least some (or all, and get back in later) when we are up.
We have a buddy system in place,
if one doesn't want to sell, we all gang up on him and MAKE him sell!

Cheers!
