tekboy: Cool. Or more properly cool it is the way to go. "It was never my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!" Comes naturally to me. Well at least now. Hard though for you wippersnappers. Yup, been there, done that. The toughest time I ever had was Cisco. When it tanked, hard. When it soared, hard. To sell, wrong. Best. Cha2

tekboy "The reason is that a man may see straight and clearly and yet become impatient or doubtful when the market takes its time about doing as he figured it must do. That is why so many men in Wall Street, who are not at all in the sucker class, not even in third grade, nevertheless lose money. The market does not beat them. They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight. Old Turkey was dead right in doing and saying what he did. He had not only the courage of his convictions but the intelligent patience to sit tight." Very well worded and totally absolutley right specially "They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight" ratan
