ot:yep you're right... but I don't think I have to say much to convince you that it's VERY easy to put one's emphasis on their investments instead of on their family.. some would say that they are "doing it for the family"... well, that depends on how the the "family" feels about it. there's a balance... my family has all it wants or needs... I don't have anything perfected yet.. I'm just glad that the failures I do have tend to be more with my investments rather than how I am as a father or husband... hopefully that makes some sense... thanks for the thoughts though... and yep, those options can be tricky.. I'll say this again.. I've said it a thousand times but everyone forgets I guess... I started with $500 last March.. and have been able to make 3,000+ stock trades.. grow my account MULTIPLE times over.. (though spent quite a bit of it).. so when (if) anyone worries about whether I'm investing with money I can't afford to lose.. that is not the case... if I lose it all.. I've lost but $500.. dont worry.. I won't lose it all... every day almost I learn something new... one day you'll read my column in the Walstreet Journal... maybe by the time I'm 30 :) jim
