KG4! The people that are reading your whining posts lost Millions Yes! Millions in the spring and never whined on this board. No we are not a tad bit on edge just tired of people who are and think we want to hear about it. I was in all cash this morning.....and have been purchasing EXTR today. I have NO reason to be on edge. Make you own decisions and take responsibility. No one is here to be your individual broker. They can be obtained for a price but not on this board. dealie

Keith, you are not investing here! You are playing the casino. When you put your chips on red it is based on hope not faith. Hope is no basis for making investment decisions. No one here(your family) wants to see you get hurt. When that happens we all hurt with you. Stand back, think it over and don't make another buy until you have FAITH in YOUR decision.

Don't worry about it. Everyone hates the market going down. Really you can write whatever you want as long as it isn't slamming anyone....people can always press next if they want. Freeus

KG4, I don't see your comments as "whining". People react differently to market volatility and how it impacts their equity. Some need to be vocal about it - others stop posting, etc. One thing that I would say to you is that if you are over-extended in the market, it can affect your sense of equilibrium and that does not make for a constructive attitude. The mental/emotional aspects of trading are as important if not more so than perfect entry/exit points. I hope that this thread which espouses being supportive to its participants can show some understanding for the fact that people react differently to external exigencies. If KG - or anyone else gets to you - just put him/her on "ignore".
