Hi Edamo - *OT* - Back home, legs feel like lead, time for recovery <ggg>. Missed Friday's trading opportunity due to travel... Check this out - was scheduled to leave Phoenix on Thursday, plane delayed long enough such that we could not get home at all, and are put up in a hotel. Get on plane Friday morning, begins to taxi, back to terminal, ill passenger. Have to remove passenger AND luggage for security reasons, takes 25 minutes... Fly to O'Hare, get on connection, they say 'pressurization problem'. Three hours later plane is fixed, and FINALLY, get home. I don't travel on business since I work from home, but based on my limited experience I can see why frequent business travelers really get frustrated...

Regards,
John

Ed - Here's a great quote from another article in today's WSJ on chat rooms. Wow, now you actually need some knowledge! I'm shocked!

Regards,
John <ggg>

"Chris Lott, a Silicon Valley software engineer, got so adept at buying and selling stocks that he became a widely followed online-investment guru -- complete with a popular Web site of prescient picks and frequently asked questions. But lately, he almost stopped trading.

"I've been watching the market with bewilderment," he says. "For a while you didn't need knowledge. You could buy anything and it would go up. Now, you do need knowledge -- at least some."
