"don't overextend yourself" Amen to that sister. I hate to tell you what happened a couple of weeks ago to my portfolio. The only good that came out of it is that I got a quick lesson on options from Tom. But it did give me a very healthy respect for keeping margin down especially in markets like this. Used some Monday and then sold the extra shares I had purchased Tuesday and Wed. I hate 'day trading' but some things were too obvious to pass up. e.g. ETEK at 120 w/JDSU reporting the next day and NT at 95-96 with very strong earnings due out the next day, SEBL at 105 and change this morning.. Just can't let things like that pass you by! Glad to see your a gym 'fan' poet. I go daily myself... or go hiking. I much prefer hiking or playing tennis now days though. Physical activity is one of the best medicines for me to clear my mind. Plus I just dog-gone love it! <g>
