M, To use a scurrilous phrase I have employed in the past, "kiss your sister" may mean something different to a man from Arkansas. <g> Disclaimer. My Burkes immigrated to Calif. from Arkansas and I still have extremely nice relatives living there. It's just a nasty joke. You seem to be doing great, but your trading makes me sooooo nervous. I may be turning into an old lady in my dotage, but I have trouble stomaching the losses I take occasionally in my 90/10. You seem to enjoy life in the fast lane, but I am too much of a belt and suspenders man for that. It is fun to hear how you are doing, but I sure don't want to see any train wrecks in your future. I had one in 1972 or 1973 when I went short wheat futures (no options on futures back in those days) and Tricky Dick immediately sold our huge surplus to the Russians for below market prices. I was hammered senseless. Those senses have just started returning. <g> But you don't seem to be doing anything remotely as crazy as that. 3 days in a row of anything in this short attention span market seems to be asking a lot. <g>
