To: jmhollen who wrote (826 ) 11/25/2000 12:21:22 PM From: Ronald P. Margraf Sr. Respond to of 1878 Hi John, Hay sounds great. Did the same. Had all my sons an wives an grand children there. Nieces an nephews there also. All in all a great turkey day. Had all my in-law there also. One of my brother-laws is a statatision. He came on bold an asked me how things where going for me on the markets. I told him just fine. He knows I trade the BBs an gave me that smug look when he asked the question. I just looked at him an said,"everything is fine, in fact making money". Boy did his attitude change. Told him I was up both Wed. an Fri. His response was UHHHHH!!!!!. How can you be up when everyone is down. Told him, get the program an then you will be up also. Got MOT at 21, an loaded up on XRX. Both up. Told him that I bought TXMC also on Wed.. Who, What is TXMC? Explained it to him. Now I think he is interested.;-))))))) As far as learning, well I am doing the same.;-))) So here is my understanding as far as blocks go. When your doing Blue Chips, a block is a 100 shares. When your doing Pennies or BBs a block is 10000. So in other words, a 1/2 block is 5000. So I hope this answers your question? Still have tons to spend. Sold some stock I had in another company an made a good profit. Loaded up on Xerox an Txmc an still have some left over. I just love this market. As long as I do the opposite of my broker, I will make money. Also, I can't down play the program. The program is what told me it was time to buy all that I bought. Oh! Forgot to mention MOT. Got into that when everyone said not to. Looks like I will make a nice profit on that. Next week will tell the story.;-))))))) I am now going to look at Lucent for my next venture. All the brokers are saying stay away from it. ECNC is another one. Have a major buy in for that at, well I can't say. But I think I will get it. I will probably pick up another 1/2-1 block of TXMC next week as long as it says at these levels. Over the next several weeks I will be working on getting capital to buy one of these factories from TXMC. Will be talking to the local government an then the banks. If I can make it happen, then I will get back to the company an see if they will let me do it. If I can do it, I will get back to you an the board an let you all know what the progress is.;-)))))) Catcha on the upside, Ron
