Came across this in the 3/14 issue of threadtalk (wanted to see what they were writing about at the topBulls on the thread are confident. Sowbug wrote on March 3... siliconinvestor.com I was basically overly aggressive at exactly the wrong time... too many options, too much margin... now it's all basically history after I pay my $225k+ tax bill and make a small down payment on my new home. Oh well... I'm actually very fortunate... only had $4,500 16 months ago, and then turned that into an Audi A4, bigscreen TV, $5k in exercise equipment, $50k+ in cash, $6k in DJ equipment, furniture, etc., etc... and a house downpayment... and a nice tax free year or 2 or 10 ahead of me (thank you trader status & mark to market accounting). :-) All is well. Wish I still had $2.25 million from that $4,500, but I can't think like that. I am very, very fortunate... now have more than I ever dreamed of a couple years ago. I'll either start a business or find a job I love. Many have asked me to write a book... who knows. My thoughts right now are for a business doing MS Office VBA macros, data processing, etc... eventually web enablement and the whole works.
