dr-b. Sorry about your loss. It's something we can all relate to, but awful to deal with. Most all of my losses, and for much greater amounts, were made from not paying enough attention, to my picks and not taking profits or limiting losses like I should. Sometimes it was bad timing (going short when it should've been long) But one day I was in the middle of a trade when a client called and distracted me. I had pressed the "preview" button then got distracted by the call and forgot to press the "enter order" button until it was too late, so I missed my trade and ended up losing 10K on that one. It's a live by the mouse die by the mouse world here. I hope you are able to make it up soon. Hopefully you'll have some good luck to make up for the bad.

dr b, can really empathize with your money loss. at least you don't have brain cancer or something. perspective. have you ever owned a money pit? i did when i was your age (ha ha, i am now 37) and lost to the tune of 30K! ouch! perseverance! The following is one of those things I have posted on my fridge with a magnet: "Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Persistance and determination alone are omnipotent." Calvin Coolidge What kind of PhD are you? If you think Minny is the North Pole, try living in AnchorTown, AK! But its a DRY cold. Oh yeah, Go Creature!!! Hopefully that dog will follow through tomorrow. Is anyone buying CMGI now that its over 40 again? Dr O ps love this board, but wish the colors were better. Thanks for all the TA DRBOB. Its worth more than my cup of coffee in the morning!
