Mark, Thanks for the kind words. After being underwater for > 2 years, most of my pride has been washed away (hopefully). It is so strange to be in the black. As expected, winning is much more enjoyable than losing, losing, losing. Thank you so much for all of your efforts in sending ropes down into the depths to reach me. You are indeed my hero! I dub you King Hero of the Decade. (Turnabout is fair play, and all.) << I advise you to quit trading now for 3 days before you do something emotionally stupid... >> Excellent advice. Emotions can be my downfall. Monday, the markets are closed for President's Day (the dead ones) and I have a training class (not on stocks mind you...) on Tuesday and Wednesday, so it looks like I will be taking your advice whether I am smart enough to do so or not. I have my precious GTCs set and will try not to do anything stupid tomorrow. (I even placed a GTC to sell my third position of AZTC at 23 should they cure cancer or something, but would be happy to sell just my first position tomorrow in single digits. I don't think that Frank is expecting double digits in the next 24 hours, but hey, the GTC is good for 30 days and stranger things have happened!) Re. ATIS, I have a mental GTC buy at 5. I don't expect it to get there, but if it does, I would want to jump on it. The market is quite volatile, so why not be ready just in case? Thanks again, Coach. Grace and Peace -- Happy P.S. I see that Chisy acknowledged you as her hero, too. I wrote my post before seeing that. P.S.S. I, too, agree with Chisy that Mark is tops and he has surrounded himself and this thread with a lot of quality people. I don't have time to keep up with all of the posts, but I very much appreciate all of the input, insight, and intelligence offered by all of the regulars. This thread is the best !!! 8 - ) Thank you all!
