HI CLINT! Thanks for the insight regarding the mini corrections! Regarding shorts: no, i wasn't short.I tried to short during the bull run a couple of times and that didn't work that well. I actually had a bad period trading the last month and this week is my best week since maybe half a year and made me feel that i can actually do this again. Otherwise fear of taking risks had overwhelmed me and i traded like a wimp and was in all the good stocks and got stopped out because i couldn't take a risk and lost therefore. They all went to the sky without me. Painful lesson of being left behind and very depressing. Serious doubt about trading came up. But somehow this week i could forget all the fear and jumped in and was running around nervous but had a good trading week. A good lesson in taking risks. So that's my story! I'm tired tonite since i have to go to a job after the trading day and that wears me out coming closer to the end of the week. Lack of sleep. At least it was worth it this week which i couldn't say about the weeks before.Thanks for your contribution... Stefan
