Hi Bernie, Thanks for copying that article to the BB. It's probably just the beginning of what will be some very interesting horror stories of Y2K's market. Recently I've been hearing some rumors locally of some retirees and others that became caught up in the world of short term trading. Nothing specific yet, I would guess that many are too embarrassed to discuss it yet. I think Keith posted a note on a thread here on SI that was to collect horror stories. Now, we all know there's plenty of them out there, but I don't think that thread got one single story! Maybe we should have offered an Award for the "best" story - sort of like our "Strewie Award!" At least these folks in the article you brought here were willing to confess their sins - even if they didn't understand what they had done wrong! Best regards, Tom
