MG, You're always interesting to watch! I had a real tough time keeping my finger off the buy trigger. Took the Phleet to 100% cash from 76%. Feel really good about missing this down draft. Seems that even a blind man can find the light switch occasionally; but, then, does the light come on? As I've mentioned to TM on occasion, I'd rather be out of the Market wishing I was in, than in the Market wishing I was out. TB

MG, why do you always mention me when you think of teenies?ggg Indeed this was a good day, I shorted CSC for a few sheckels, actually I shorted it twice! Its an amusing story, I put in a sell for 2k shares at 66 13/16 and Datek said I could only short 1270 shares. Not being one to buck the tide I took the 1270 and moved on. Later it cruised up so I decided to add some more. When I tried to tack on another 1k shares the message came back that I could only short 1767 shares???. (sounded like a revolutionary war or something) We finally figured out that Datek only had 497 shares on the shelf, so I took the 497 and sold them. ggg I hate being a novice trader, having to feel your way along making money is terrible. Making a few bucks when the market is down 176 and change is fun even if it wasn't pretty (TB beat me up on the entry and exit points). On the other side in the big account, TB convinced me to stay in cash, actually he conned me into selling last week. I wanted to go back in this PM but the wizzard of the bowl said NOOOOoooo. So I be in cash all around and will be shopping my buttttttttt off tomorrow (maybe). I agree with TB but I almost bought PEP six times in the last three days, (gg) then I was going to bag some ALL and decided it might get cheaper tomorrow, patience is virtue or is it patience is vulture? gg I am glad that TB conned me into missing this down draft, now the BIG question is when to buy back in! Delicious Dilemma! Taking any bets on what tomorrow holds?? CU TM
