Thanks for the numbers Seymour , >>If you made that $10,000 trading I'd say you are >>definitely doing something right!<g> I didn't think I indicated that. But it all depends how you want to look at it. Down at one point 50-60% in IRA, circa last summer, now about 10%. Taxable account still down 10-15%. A taxable managed fund that started w/100k min - fall 2000 - is now down 25%. I made a choice between them and a 7.25 1 yr CD.. (should I say who "them" is?) How far down were they?? I don't know for sure 'cause I was not only busy and too tired to look, but had the "fear" to look. Actually, w/one stock which I had averaged down again and again, and thought of gbuying more at @.11-.15 but didn't 'cause the commission seemed to high (using fidelity - $20 / thousand), I only just lucked out by happening to get my courage up at the same time it popped up to 2.40 !!! What luck!! Too bad though I only sold part of it @ 2.39 and sold all the way back to a little over a buck. A perfect example of all the things you have to do in investing/trading/gambling !!! What to buy, when to buy, when to sell..... At minimum an 8 to 1 to FAIL !! So dfid I make $10k.. Hmmmmm Cheers @ac@
