Zen back to the 9 to 5: By: zen_warrior Reply To: 86983 by scio Wednesday, 12 Apr 2000 at 1:57 PM EDT Post # of 87158 scio: I appreciate your thoughts and your membermark, but I am really, really hurting right now. Premier and Mr. Gribknows have it right: money management should be #1 priority w/ investments. They should be membermarked; not me. I screwed myself and probably others bigtime. I regret that greatly. Those brokerage firms were successful in stomping out many high octane traders such as myself. I knew the market was due for a serious correction, but my timing was off by 3 weeks... so now I pay the consequences. I have only ONE hope left: SUNW going up at least 20-30 points from here w/ earnings tomorrow. 20 points means all the money will go towards my house. 30+ points means I still have something left for investments. Anything less means I'm back at square one... though holding everything I ever wanted, except for a home (will still get it, but making a down payment & monthly payments rather than paying cash). Regardless, I need a job now... and that's not a bad thing. Question is what to do... work for others, start my own business, or what?? Steady income is probably the best route... my taste for volatility has been soured greatly. But we'll see... maybe "Zen's Business Automation" is in the works. Or maybe I'll get the strength to finish a Website or 2... doubt it though... would probably give me ulcers trying to make enough money and find an audience. Who knows... for now, I just look for a job and hope that it's one I will enjoy... nice seeing all these IT worker shortage news bits. :-) If not, then I move on to my next option. Anyways, yes... I'll probably be around about as much as Ruby is... I'll miss the daily conversation, but I can't afford to compromise my future employment, nor my own health by spending all day online. In fact, I was probably addicted to CMGIOT... not necessarily a bad thing... except when it interferes w/ work and family. Good luck bud... I'll really miss the daily grind, but unfortunately I have to make money the old fashioned way now... unless an absolute miracle happens. - Zen BoardMark MemberMark Ignore Poster Report TOS Violation Enter Symbol to get a Quote Nasdaq delayed 15 minutes, 20 min. otherwise.
