Ted,
Re:-I hope you continue to prosper in the New Year and the new millenium!!

I do too, but I share that with all my fellow travelers on the SI board. Remember, it all just monopoly, and playing it hard...lots of margin. Winning is the game and I am just a small time player. It is so much fun when you win big!

I published a very serious post on margin. Take is seriously from somebody who has been there big time! You can get totally snuffed out...as if I didn't know.

Playing with fire is still part of the fun for many of us. As long as you are only gambling with paper profits, loosing 70% of one's portfolio does not feel too bad...but it still is nothing for the Humble One to brag about.

It's the excitement of it all! No gamblers anonymous for me. Best of luck to all in the new year! Put the pedal to the metal with the safest stocks you can find!
humble carl
