Long time!!

How's everything? Some of the posts I'm reading tonight are too much to believe. Guys worried about margin calls after these drops? Wow! So much potential pain to come. Some of these adds by the brokerage firms make me laugh... "why pay a broker to do what I can do myself". That one may be true. Most brokers are set up to lose plenty as well. Then there's that house wife who needs to quit jogging and run back to the house to trade before the market closes...she realizes a 1700 gain in some biotech. The follow up to that commercial is her running around the house with a meat cleaver having just lost 46,000 on margin.-g-....here's a gem I found on AOL I thought I'd share....

>>>vendit bad bad day let me recap 9;30 to 12;30 i was in a metting i went out to talk to my broker about 10 times the president of the company ask me luis everithing ok ?i said no aol down about 15 points all the metting began to call their brokers too, metting over i went to work i could not work dont eat take the keys and went home really to vendit and all ,this market is gona make me sick sometimes i think of selling all my stocks take profits and run ,no more cnbc ,no more maria from the nyse, no more internet ,no computers,no brokers. no naz features no s&p THE HELL WITH ALL THIS SHEAT soory regards luis <<<<
