Interesting : Out last night drinking a few with the fella's and one particular buddy was rather distressed. He is pretty much a newcomer to investing ( even though he is 48...I guess thats what 3 kids...all with different woman, none of which are your wife...will do to your bank account <ggg>)and after showing up last night, he was very silent. Finally, I was talking with another buddy about how I wish I could come up with more cash, as this is a one in a million opportunity. He jumped in and said "F%^k it ! I am thinking of cashing in and selling everything". I tried to explain that this is exactly what the houses want you to do, but he was too distraught to listen....and if things open down today, I fear he will be a seller. I told him plain and simple, if he didnt HAVE to sell, then don't...but fear tends to get the best of people, especially when it's fear about $$'s. Anyway, I think better days are ahead, but one thing we can all take solace in....and for you over there......you...that ficticiouscharacter I am looking at with a .38 calliber stuck in his mouth..." don't feel so special....don't think you are the only one getting wiped out right now. We are all in the same boat....and as long as we all remain stable, I dont think the boat is gonna sink" Here's hopin better days are ahead Keith
