Looking at my quote screen I can see why you might be a little out of sorts today. Damn options can ruin a man's equanimity. My nephew, Voltaire, called this market on Friday, and feels we will turn back up later in the week. He usually gets it right, so there's hope for your sorry self. Just remember item 8 of your very own Decalogue for Prodigal Investors: Thou shalt not try to steal even more obscene returns by using options or margin, unless there are very special circumstances and thou really knowest what thou doest. Based on your recent moaning and groaning, I guess we can rule out the latter part of that admonition. uf

I prefer to spend my leisure time hanging out under real palms.. Well at least you get away from the screen! But laying under the palm trees watching your pot belly grow is not good enough, TEK! :0) I just got back from 4 days in Denver. Wonderful town! Wonderful dance partners! Went to Loveland and enjoyed the skiers, then hit the spa in Idaho springs. The best of the best was two young ladies from Peoria who flew in to dance with us for the weekend. I flew back this morning a very tired dancer!
