Hey! Its funny because when Tim came back I wasnt really putting too much time into s/i, and I didn't realize how many of the original crew were still here.. its great to see so many of us survived given the life expectancy of the average wallstreet investor :) Yeah, im working fulltime right now.. Last year was a shaky year for me and I decided I had to step back and focus on money management.. Dunno if you remember, but I'm famous for spending 3 months busting my butt managing my money and making decent percentages, than BOOM I wake up one day and put it all on one stock and lose the entire 3 months profit and than some.. I laughed last year when I read the book 'trading for a living' and the author kept talking about the relationship between trading and alcholics... I shouldnt have laughed so hard because its soo true.. I promised myself that if by the end of 99 I have a grip on my emotions ill be back in business full time.. So far its been working really well, and I even joined Anthonys email service so I can learn a balance between long/short and ironically it has made my percentage gains on the longs much better knowing what point shorts want to enter etc etc.. so.. since im full of wind this morning, suffice to say that I'm doing pretty damn good! Just please, someone kick my ass if I post something like 'I put it all on XXXX' let it ride!!!
