LASTEST UPDATE ON BNE LOL-- don`t go out and buy bne. I`m referring to Bonnie. She is still safely pregnant. Getting weary trying to watch her constantly. Rose-- tell your sister to hang in there and don`t sell. It`s just paper losses. right? RIGHT?? I need a margins` anonymous meeting bad. I sold some calls on Friday with Voltaires help, and on Monday, I had some more buying power and couldn`t resist buying more qcom. I didn`t wait for the bottom however, and am in another margin call now.. BIG DEAL!! RIGHT VOLTAIRE?? RIGHT?? Boohoo-- I `m not stress free yet but patiently trying to learn. I think I need that meeting though(or maybe a therapist) Love ya all Danger

Hi roserrsp, I understand where you are coming from. I could tell you stories along that line that would make your toes turn up. But I must say that as much as I mouth off I have to expect some aspects of it. My problem is not the pressure because honestly I don't feel it, I know damn well the Houses manipulate the markets and I draw solace from that. It is the self imposed encroachment on my STRESS FREE life that concerns me, my time is everything to me. My sister was getting my brother involved about 6 months ago and I took her aside and told her " sis it ain't worth it ", thank God she backed off. Voltaire

With your sister feeling so bad about the market... such would seem to show we are closer to the bottom than the top. She may need to practice looking up rather than down so to speak. (easiler to say than do) For whatever it is worth, I would suggest that if she got into these stocks for the long term than she should keep the tv turned off as to CNBC, not check the stock daily, do something for others so as to avoid self-pity, and agree with you that she should look at the stock price once every 30 days and see if the real story behind the companies she has invested in has changed. My main problems in life come from worry, self-pity, fear, and a few other things that are really all inside of me. Making a decision to get out of the market when one is in a low state of being and low state of viewing life is almost always the wrong decision. In a low state of being one will sell at the bottom and the stock will come back up. One should get out of a stock based on the same premise that one got into it. That is if one is in because they have a "gorilla" stock than that person should not get out unless the stock is losing it's "gorilla status". She appears to be wanting to get out for the wrong reason. Just by 2 cents worth (if even that). If anything above helps please use it...otherwise junk what I just said. Best regards to you and your sister, Bob
