I will deeply miss Tony's presence here. I first encountered Tony when I was a QGLY long and I thought he was whacko at that time. The nerve of him saying bad things about my QGLY! It wasn't until much later that I kept coming across this A@P character and much to my surprise or rather dismay, he had an uncanny sense of being right over and over again. Well, he finally got my attention and I entered the short game for the first time. Well, before I knew it I was almost $80,000 in the hole right off the bat. I shorted the crap out of CYOE and OMGA and put myself in the hole bigtime. I finally covered and took the almost $80K loss. Then sometime after that I loss another $37K with STMP! ouch! Since those losses, and since being on his site, I have recovered all my losses and then some. I would be doing much better I am sure, if I didn't have a job to contend with. (I agreed with an associate to do some part time consulting which has evolved to more than a part time position recently). Also having a family occasionally forces me to cover any volatile issues at small gains or losses sometimes, if I leave the monitor for extended periods of time. I don't want to be in something like STMP and come back to find out I'm upside down bigtime. Anyway, It's good to finally be ahead, and I'm looking forward to continuing my education here and on the Tony site. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone in San Diego and thought the seminar was well worth the time and money invested. ...and finally thanks for all the support and new found friendship of all of the other site members. I'm looking forward to spending a week in Aspen with friends that I met at the seminar. It's a little like an extended family. whoops time to go, the pizza is here, I've said enough. There was many a day when I felt like throwing in the towel. I am glad I hung in there.
