You ought to call yourself something beside dirtyoldman, had you checked my past posting you would know I've expressed a lot of concern about quote.yahoo.com^VLIC&d=5ym which peaked in 1998 and hasn't been able to hold any sustained rally.. You would also know I trade indexes and Funds more than stocks. My core trading fund for over a year has been ROGSX..I didn't get in on the exact bottoms or out at the exact tops, Last OCT I went in at 17 a little late and sold in March a little early ( at 34 ) Re-entered in MAY at 25 got out in AUG at 40..back in OCT 10 at 34 and change she is now 39.. On that fund alone I'm only up 117% from last OCT. I can't yet count my bull spreads as they are based in leaps, ( I seldom talk about them as most people get lost in option spreads ) I often day trade the QQQ in my regular account I bought MO when every body was trashing it, & got called out on some covered calls I wrote. I hold a good bit of CNC ( at 3.25 cost ) and collect the dividend every 3 months , ( they can call me at $5 ) but it's doubtful they will until 2002 or she gets bought. I'm in GE at @ 43.13 Have a small holding in EELN at 3 Calls sold at 5.. Have a "lock" on FIBR with puts at 40 in May..my cost was 19-3/8.. ----------------- I'm sorry you have done so badly in the market, ( it shows ) but you likely pick too many stocks most people who think they can pick stocks better than funds also lose their ass. Learn to know your limits, and also check things out before you dive in. Message 14536136 Jim
