Day traders may want to pick up a little KEG this afternoon. Earnings are expected before the market on Monday and odds are they will beat consensus...should be good for a little ole fashioned KEG-action pop. For you longer term KEGers, like me, I am hoping Monday will set the stage for this little jewel to do some catching up. big

Disappoint? Ahh...disappoint? Say What? What do you charge to run money, ole doggie, dog, dog?<G> You are quite fortunate not to have to trade a lot to achieve good results. With your other business commitments that would probably not be terribly practical. BTW, what was your net for 1999? As a broker the best marketeers I learned from - Bob Farrell and Lou Smith in particular, who did the weekly interactive TA conference calls for our branch office - got me in the habit of working with a core style of using intermediate holding periods (1 to 11 months) with ST and LT holds as circumstances allowed. Continued to develop that approach for the 18 yr since leaving W. St. and am very happy with the results. Another important thing IMHO is never to compete with anyone but yourself and the dude you hope will be left hold'in the proverbial bag on the other side of each of your trades, LOL. Anyhow, as I said have no idea whether I'm 20% ahead of you or 10% behind because, as per my earlier post, I don't focus on how much $$ or %age I'm ahead during the year. But you know Big it really doesn't matter what your style is as long as you are achieving your targets and that you're are having fun with this sometimes crazy, but always intriguing and entertaining game. Will say that among the contacts I have among other madmen<g> who have been doing this for a living for many years, your net since early Mar looks just fine to me. Here's to continued success for the balance of the year. Best Isopatch
