Yeah, good damage control to have intimate parties instead.

Thanks on the UAXS. It's a stock I was tempted to buy when it was around a dollar, but hesitated and my entry is $1.54ish. I bought several thousand shares so I received different fills but $1.54 is about right.

Were it to drop to a buck again I would double up, but if instead it moves over three I'll sell half just to have a zero-basis net. Then I can forget about it, because it really was purchased as a longer term play.

I don't know how many places gave up on Halloween this year, but I am happy to report that in our corner of suburbia Halloween is alive and well. At the 4 p.m. start time (an hour or so before dark) there were dozens and dozens of kids (and some parents) out in the streets of our neighborhood. My kids went to more than 50 houses, and more than 100 kids (might have been more than 200, we lost count) showed up at our door for candy. The official trick or treating hours lasted until 8, and in past years it was mostly done by 6 or 630. Last night there were still kids coming by at 730. Several houses had elaborate decorations, and with (for us) unusually warm weather, it seemed that just about everyone was outside. A great time was had by all.

Not only did no one give in to the terrorists, no one even mentioned the terrorists. There was zero talk beforehand of not participating in trick or treating. We just went on, as we always have, enjoying it at least as much as the kids.

Does anybody want some extra candy? <g>
