you been watching the sndk chart lately.... I'm worried about you donnie.....I mean that seriously.....I notice you are doing alot of trading lately...scalping a few points and running.......Listen, and I say this with all due respect and with the caring thoughts of a friend.....STOP!! If Voltaire was ever right on one thing it is that the market should be STRESS FREE....now, I have no doubts that your doing well scalping a few points here and there and making some nice money...but with nazzy so low, now is the time to be buying and holding and building on the dips.........It is proven...most who try and time the markets do not do so with the precise precision necessary to out do, simple stress free buy and hold methology.....I'm not saying dont take your profits and run......but in this market, near a bottom, you would have been better to buy at 1600 and hold...not try and time the cycles up and down. You may have missed on the downside on one or two....you may have gotten out of something early.....lots can happen between 1600 and where we are and where we are going.......My guess is those that bought and held are better then those that are trading. yep, it's nice to take advantage of the volatility...lots of money to be made while we go up and down, but again........look back, and see the stocks you lost on, coupled with the omes you gained on but got out too early, and then look and see where you would be had you just bought low, held, added on dips and held.......You'd be better off and much less stressed out.........I am a permabull by heart.....I am doing a little trading, just to keep the blood flowing and make a few $$'s, but for the most part, I am chillin and buying the dips and building for the future......good luck and try and stay stress free.... keith
