RE: "You are a true and honest person...even if you're broke!" Daryll, I've been posting win or lose real-time AMAT/LRCX trades since I guess about the beginning of the year. I've been very, very lucky with my plays. It's been an absolutely great year. I was due to take a big hit, and I should point out that I never risk more than I can afford to lose. Publicly admitting a bad decision is the easy part, watching the income statement dive is certainly what's difficult. Still, I haven't covered yet. In any case, thanks for the kind words and I wish you the best with all your trades. AdvocateDevil

Darryll, Right, AD is to be commended for being honest in reporting his trades. I also feel for ADs pain; I also tried and lost in shorting AMAT, NVLS and KLAC before Sep 11. I'm at my worst when timing short term --- the time period being used by Bears successfully. If you have been reading my Posts, you my have learned I am losing more than $25K in my YoYo Demo. A lot lot more if I include all my trades in many accounts. I even confessed about an account that went down from more than half a million to just 78 bucks! My "consolation" was that those amount lost were just part of Gains made during the last Bull Market. I have been reporting my YoYo Demo trades so people may learn from my mistakes and may learn something about the techniques successfully implemented during the past 2 Bull Markets. At the same time I'm experimenting on Non-AMAT options using AMAT the stock as the Index.
