Thanks ten tons for your message to me on the G&K thread. I thought I'd better answer it here so Uncle Frank (now a NOTABLE with his new award...vvvbg) does not scold me. I got into a lot of cash this morning. The market has truly freaked me out and I want to be in it but wanted some cash on the side for a possible big down turn. It's terribly hard for me to believe that suddenly everything is on its way up again. But there we are...maybe it is, who knows? Anyway I like your ideas. I tend to go all at once, wildly buying at one time. I think if I get back in little by little, I would have a mix of prices in that would be more comfortable, and EMC and SUNW were two I wanted. I may lose JDSU to covered calls and Csco too, if we don't have a down day between now and a week and a half. We'll see. Downtimes will come, they always do. I have unloaded a lot of Qcom and Qcom options, at losses after all those gains, so I'm now a definite believer in stop losses, at least mental ones with large obvious notes on the computer if the stock is starting to look weak. I need to watch for the rest of August I think, or at least until Greenspan speaks. Then I'll be ready to begin to move in little by little. Of course if we have some big down days I'll use them. I agree about not watching the stocks so much...I am beginning to study (and do practise on people) for my new career (I hope) reflexology. So I'll be busy busy anyway. Best wishes. In Jan when I had a ton of $$$ that I didn't cash in we chose and got plans for a beautiful 3400sq ft home. Now I'm wondering if we should reduce or just wait a little and we'll be able to afford it again (we have the cash set aside to build it but can we afford to keep it up, that's the question?) We'll have to choose aless expensive town than Park City, that's for sure. Heber maybe. Or Kamas. Freeus
