Now, now, don't wanna be giving 'em what they want. I'm gonna go dig holes in the ground and plop plants into them, then make a run to the gummy factory. This calls for wholesale buying. That sucks about the stock. They are slaughtering mine right now for no good reason, other than to do it. I think I'm getting irritated.

I messed up pretty bad last week ~ I told the spouse our vacation cost $8000.00 ~ for four nights in a 55.00 motel ~ and so I've been watching real, real carefully, and trying to be real careful about seizing the opp or tunities. (I think if I complain about this I MIGHT feel better.....) I have been watching BS, real close, under my New System, and I bought 12000 shares Tuesday, in the last minute of trading, literally, before they downgraded it Wednesday morning and it opened 3/8ths or so lower. Then I sold, when I got my money back, because I had a safety sell in while I went into town for the day with Norton. (He told me about his first experience with Marijuana, in 1974. His last one. I don't think he understood the concept.) Anyway, I got home and they were all gone at 6 1/8th. Okay. No problem. Better no problems than losses. I study the heck out of things last night and decide I think it will open at 6 1/8th to 6 3/16ths, and add a quarter point today, for me to sell, or 9/16ths by midweek next; but I'm up pretty late studying it and I decide I won't put the buy in right then, at 1:00 AM, because Asia could implode or Germany or China and I need to see the situ in the morning, and but I really should put the buy order in anyway because I'm sure I can get at least 1/4 point, or 3000.00. I can just tell, because that's what I do do, for a living. You know. (Catch downgrades.) But I would need to use the alarm clock, by this bed down by the puter, and I don't really trust IT, or ME, so I don't put the order in. Safety, you know. Always be safe. Never be stuck with crappy steel stocks. Okay? Nobody really wants steel, or steel stocks. So I get up at the 6:30 open to see what's going on and I can't get on line; my ISP is rejecting my password. Oh, neat. Over and over and over. Again. Eventually I call their HQ and get through, and there's a recording that says "Our Dumass-2000 Server is broken. Our engineers are working on it." "Toot toot." Neat. When I finally am able to get on, BS is, naturally, at 6 7/16ths, after opening at 6 1/8th-3/16ths. Now what do I do? I don't have any shares. "I would like 12000 shares, for to sell, please. Where I wanted to." Well, spilt milk, you know. So I decide the chart might support a buy at 6.25 and a flip manana for 6.375, so I enter that, just in case it stumbles. "You don't have any funds in your account." With a big red background box, like, "Don't you EVER try to pull that shit with us, asshole." They should put a little .gif of someone roasting over flames, or something. "This big red box is for YOU, in case you aren't paying attention." "Good people don't get giant red boxes." "Have a nice day."
