"Do you know how to make God laugh? Tell him your Plans!" -from 2mars#'s profile I was going to post the above quote and decided to get some of the porchers quotes from their profiles and post. Dalin was talking about a profile quote the other night and so I thought I’d do this. Hope you enjoy! I went back 1 week (of posters) and picked up everyone that had a quote on their profile. If you don’t see name on this list then they did not insert a quote on their profile.

Volt: YEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! That is the fundamental point. That is what moves markets. That basic fundamental weakness that is human nature in the people 'behind' these mammoth, 'hallowed' institutions. It is to understand that the complexities of EMOTIONS in human beings MUST ALSO APPLY to the 'movers and shakers' in the stock market. That understanding is what separates the winners from the losers among US. You are a MASTER at it. I'm half-assed decent at it myself, but am new to the concept involving the Houses. Have always operated from a completely 'gut feeling' about human nature to maintain business relationships that put income in my pocket ... nothing else really matters. It's 100% PSYCHOLOGY: your clients 'like you,' you win. Period. 'b-i-a' ###

Well, I just placed an order to buy one measly jan100 call on rmbs. Way too nervous to buy more at this time. If a couple other holdings moved up, to where I could free up some cash, maybe I buy more. I am very nervous about this market...the old keith would have jumped on 25 calls without hesitation....this newer, meeker, more humbled version is taking a more cautious attitude, while at the same time trying to stay in the game to a point. I will buy 1 at market and then have limit orders to buy more if it drops considerably. By the way, if anybody see;s reasoning why I should pursue other calls instead of the jan100's...please let me know. Normally, I like to buy ITM calls, but becuase of the lack of funds, and fear of buying a high dollar call only to watch it drop, made me look at the jan 100's. If it rmbs runs wild as tom thinks it will, it should see a very nice % gain. If rmbs tanks, with the market...well, we are talking $1300 a call vs maybe $3000 or so, so the risk level is more tolerable....opinions...anyone...please..... keith@gettingmorestupidbytheday.com
