spy hard, Trading is a tough way to make a buck. I position trade a little when I have the spare bucks. This year I actively traded May to October. I did OK, but the 30 to 300 didn't happen once. <G> When CPQ went under 20, I put all my trading cash in CPQ. It going to take a little while but I'll make more money doing this then trading. I do niss the excitement. NW

Quick story re:BB stocks. I got sucked in (stupidly - I knew better, but it just looked SOOOO lucrative) and doubled my money in 1 month last year. Then I proceeded to lose 75% of that over the course of the year. It provided a much needed tax break....but a loss is a loss no matter how you cut it. I switched back to my traditional investing method...and this year I'm back to my original double point from early last year. Not bad....just needed patience.
