I agree Fred, great post. I have not sold any of my positions, because I do not know when things are going to turn around. But I have done enough research to be comfortable with all the companies that I own. Not on margin, don't understand TA, have not a frickin clue how to "time " the market but I do have a lot of patience and a long investment horizon. So I am enjoying the start of baseball season, coaching my son's soccer team (6 year olds, what a riot) and hoping the weather will hold out so I can garden a bit this week-end. Of course if Mr. Market decided to turn around I could give up my moonlighting for DrKoop.Com! Trip

Margin Calls Ah me! Ah me! How can it be. Each stock I own is down. I had great gains But what remains Puts on my face a frown. Gem was a star That would go far But now its far below When on my screen I will see green I really do not know. Just one more fall And a margin call Will come here in the mail. Last year I said "Each spring there's red" I'll be ready without fail. But....... I'm caught once again On the indebted train I didn't get out in time. Freeus (Actually my account is still ok but my fiancee's which I manage is about to be in danger.) Now no mean comments please, kindness and gentleness only :o(
