OK Tim..... print these rules out and put them on the wall.... 1.) "Don't ride a position into the dirt!" 2.) "When a position turns against you, get out, and get out now!" Now say them over and over and over and, well, you know the rest.... have the discipline to execute the rules. Granted, yours didn't exactly go into the dirt I gather, but still yet, when it turns against you, get out. OK, per your request, there's your head slap! Chalk that week you mentioned off to experience. Learn from it, and move forward, getting better and better... RR
