Colts beat the Rams by 4, or maybe the Lions over the Jags by 6 in overtime, or maybe... Thank you, I really do feel at home here. Hopefully I can learn to be a decent trader one day.

Rande: My problem is sticking to my plan to go more cash. Every time I try to keep something on the sidelines, I find something else I want to buy. LOL! Anyway, I made another attempt today by selling VISX and DISH for small losses and half my positions in ATHM and PMCS for 40% and 30% two month gains. It seemed like today was a good selling opportunity. The idea is to keep the cash until after any correction. Guess I'll try sitting on my hands. I'm beginning to realize that it's not just about buying winners. Money management is a big part of successful trading. Even though all my mutual funds were up, they were all just slightly up - probably the smallest gain on a 100+ Dow day that I have seen in years. Rande - Have you ever thought about any kind of a "Home Thread" annual meeting? It would be kinda fun to meet everyone, have a dinner and tell a few stories. I believe this is a unique collection of individuals. Congrats on the one year anniversary of the thread. I have been here for over 12,000 of the 16,000+ posts and enjoyed nearly every one. Baton
