Jill, "I just made my reservations for a hotel near the airport Wednesday night for my early morning flight Thursday back to Sodom & Gomorrah (NY)." I thought San Francisco had that title sewn up. Amazing cross-section of beauty and depression. jpgill

HI Jill, Hope the vacation was full of fun, R&R. Good luck with the interview! The article at the link below is (tongue in cheek, but also it's a fair portrayal of a very sad reality though) why I do not use a stop loss.......... I agree that if one does not use a stop loss, one should make sure that they employ a mental one & limit losses though............ capitalstool.com I'm not saying that this type of thing happens ALL the time by any means (running stop losses)............... However, I have no doubt that it does happen. I've witnessed enough fishy situations where it clearly appeared that stop losses were run well below the stop loss level only to reverse & close well above the stop loss by cob. It's one thing to see it once in a while, but it happens often enough to make me suspicious about a group of people who are not known for their moral standards or impeccable integrity.
