Sat here today watching SOMEONE's stocks go up 180 points. It's like Bingo. They never call my numbers. And I want to stand up and say, well, hang on, mister! I've been here every day early in the morning, reading and even sometimes thinking and punching numbers into this calculator thing, and how come these people who don't know crap are making money on this stuff that violates everything all those books I read told me was true? I think William O'Neill should at least refund me the price of his books and two years of the IBD, and maybe even pay for a year of college. SO just when do I get a turn? It's not fair. Why can't they run this like I used to run the boys' birthday parties? No one ever lost. I made sure everyone got a prize and was included. I fixed the games. Of course you always got a treat bag at the end of the party, too. So even if you never really got the tail on the donkey, you went home with something and you felt good. Unless you REALLY wanted the present your mother had bought for the birthday boy. That has happened. "Joey, Give Ammo his gift and say Happy Birthday." "No." "Joey? Remember how we talked about your birthday being last month? Adn how Ammo gave you that nice robot? and now you give HIM a present?" "I don't want to. I want it." "Joey. Give Ammo the present." "No!" "Give it to him NOW, JOEY!" "NOOOOO!!!!! It's mine!!!" "Then we'll have to go home right this minute." "Can I keep the present if we go?" ANd of course I'm standing there saying-"Let him keep the present- it's not important. LEt him keep the damn present." And the mother is hissing at me, "He has to LEARN, dammit!" ANd all the other kids are wondering if it's too late to take back their gifts and go home. Well, the truth is Joey had it right. He knew what he wanted, hell, he had brought the darn gift and he saw no reason some other kid should get it. And I see no reason those AOLers and YAHOOers should get all the best presents when I get booby prizes. Greenspan runs a lousy birthday party.

>I also got the strangest feeling Lather wouldn't regret his announced RYURX sale, when he was worried he would be selling at the top, and just couldn't take anymore irrational punishment.< I'm already pretty happy. I took the rescued RYURX capital and bought INTC with it. Sold that today - my limit got hit. Half a point below my Optimistic Target, but I've had too many birds in the bush this year. I made back all I lost; I'm feeling semi-good right now. Well not counting the SNRS debacle.
