LOL, Hey, I never said trading wasn't better than long term investing if your good at it. Then again, Warren Buffet hasn't done too bad for himself and I don't recall seeing him in any of those trading rooms scalping teenies. -gggg-

Of course both have their place but at least until the mania top in 2K, the majority of people in the market were and probably still are "investors". Keep in mind there are a ton of retired people and sheeple with Mutual Funds that have no idea what a chart is, what FA stands for etc. Us traders were a minority and probably still are.

My latest project is a Pergola that was in the planning stages for months as the final outcome kept changing. I finally got going on it a week ago. It is a semi circle with a spoked top and then a misting system to cool the under side. FWIW, Lowes was empty when I went today but HD was fairly busy for a holiday. The carts seemed a bit more empty though and I didn't see many people hauling out big project type stuff. Mostly repair items and only one guy loaded to the gills with lumber that looked more like a shed than a major home over haul. ( 2 X 4s, nails, shingles etc. with no fixtures, drywall screws etc) People may finally be slowing down.

Regarding HWP and CPQ. At least we can save the cost of an additional casket. Now we can just bury them together. Sounds like a case for alka selzer... indigestion...burp~

Good Luck,

Lee
