Wow. You need this... Therapy for Traders When you have had one of those "take this market and shove it" days, try this. Run to the pharmacy and go to the thermometer section . You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip. Be very sure to select this brand. Return home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so that you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable clothing, put something soothing on the stereo, and lie down on your bed. Relax. Open the package containing the thermometer and place it on your bedside table. Relax. Take the written material that accompanies the thermometer. Relax. As you read it you will notice in small print the statement "EVERY rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested. Relax. Now close your eyes. Relax. Say out loud five times, "I am sooooooooooo glad that I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip company!" (From Sandra in the Savvy-Trader chat room) savvy-trader.com

Hey Zog- A few minutes ago I saw the post from the guy who says I'm an asshole for posting that joke to you. My first inclination was to blow the guy off, but then I thought "oh shit, what if that Zog guy felt the same way? Like he needs this from me?". I posted that joke to several threads, 'cause I thought it was hilarious, and yours was the last post on this thread. I thought...well if anyone could use a laugh... So...If I offended you, I sincerely apologize, it was not my intention to belittle your predicament. Believe me, I do empathize. While I've never had things quite as messed up as you appear to, I've certainly had my share of glitches, and I find that nothing is more frustrating in trading than to have the system or the technology fail you. We all make enough of my own bonehead moves in the course of the trading day, we don't need help from our broker or our platform. Again, my apologies. Jay
