What's up Doc? I'm getting ready to go chase that little elusive white dimpled creature that always seems to find wooded areas or water to hide in. I thought I might need the practice with the title up for grabs in Helen, after our sub par match in Hattiesburg being all tied up. Now if we can only beat Mrs. Doc, I think I may start bitching a little more like she does when she hits the fairway 2 inches off to the right of center! (it works for her!!!) Counting down the days to total hysteria! Coonaz

Hi Joel "Lurking" Eyedoc: Nope... not good enough. I think to win. Regardless of what this market does, I will win. Consequently, whether that old adage you elude to happens, I will still prevail. I believe that with absolute confidence. That may be pie in the sky talk but if one doesn't think that way, they have no business in this dangerous market and especially investing in options the way I do. You just have to play it smart, Joel. Can't get rattled. Preserve capital is rule 1. Especially with options since they are so risky. However, if you employ good strategy, even if the market turns, you can survive. Heck, if the bears show up, buy puts. That's what I did last spring trading QQQ. Made money when others were losing. You've heard me say this before, and that is...I'm not worried one bit. Really not. I'll make money going up and can make it going down. Like I've said, I believe we will have a run on 5000 by year end. I could be wrong, and yes, it is a stretch, but I'll bet everyone last year couldn't believe the Naz went up like it did. I posted some stats on that the other day in fact. Anyway, hang tough Dude. You're smart to play it safe and cautious until you feel otherwise. Have a great Sunday. RR
