Thanks LG! And, in particular, thanks for noticing that I DO post when I take a beating. I try to be honest. As I have said before, I am an amateur. I have a modest amount invested in real stocks and a lot more in retirement funds. It took me 2 years of losing money (like 75K) to get the hang of trading, but in the last 3 years, I have done well. I like this game, and I especially like the people I have met here on SI. I regret that we sometimes fight, and I regret that people like Don see fit to leave. There is a lot of individual and personal stuff wound up in investing (I suppose "ego" is the single best term) but I try to be honest. I have a big ego and an even bigger head (just ask my kids). But I am not shy about reporting when that big head is bashed in. I only wish I had more time for this game! But I don't. Until I retire to Tuscany with the satellite dish, I have to play the game as best I can. Best wishes, Dennis
