So how does 1900 sound to ya?: biz.yahoo.com ---------------------------------------- After hearing about the CPI numbers before the market's opening together with the futures for the Dow and Nasdaq, I sold CELG shortly after the opening. Then I watched the Nasdaq do the usual slide downward (I really thought we would finally some kind of rally today). I checked with my broker at 10:30 EST to see what was happening. The Nasdaq had recovered from -170 to -60+. I asked for some quotes, and jumped into WEBT big because of this (idiotic!!) impression that we'd see a run-up prior to earnings next week. Got in at 37 1/4 thinking I'd try and make 7 points. OH LUCKY ME! It fell by the close to 31+ and is showing a bid of 29. I'm beginning to think I'm a lightening rod for bad luck. It was about this same time last year that I took some real hits to the downside, too. ----------------------------------------- Probably not going to be around much this weekend. Hope its a good one for ya. Later, Mike P.S. Can traders and/or investors draw welfare? <gg>

Hello my friend, I was so happy to see your message on my PM list. I had thought of posting to you so many times, but thought maybe you didn't want to be bothered. Even thought about calling prior to logging on and then saw and immediately read your message. Given its length, I thought I'd go ahead and wait til I could print it off and then use the word processer and C&P in a reply (bet mine would have been longer <g>). I also wanted to read a little bit and see what was going on around SI. That is when my day started to head south. The last three days have culminated into an emotional roller coaster ride, and today was the worst. I'm afraid I'm going to be a bit longer in replying than I had initially intended. I need to get my head straight and back into a groove with which I am most comfortable. I chose to post here because it was a much easier way to find you. So glad to hear from you. Will try to get your PM responded to in a couple of days when my emotional balance is back to something I am more able to handle without the added weight of baggage. Later, Mike
