OT - RE: "AD, Earlier this year you proved your daytrading expertise by making hundreds of thousands of dollars shorting AMAT during an uptrend. In the current volatile atmosphere where your daytrading techniques could be very profitable, you have become a long term scale down value investor. I am curious whether you are having more fun now than while you were DT AMAT." Sam, I guess I spent about a year or so on the AMAT thread postin' RT swing tradin' and day tradin' plays and had one helluva lotta fun in the process. Geez, I had a pretty good run, and it's hard not to enjoy bookin' dem wins! While I continue to trade, I do so less frequently. It was simply time for me to scale back, count the chips and reset priorities. I'm now primarily focused on rebalancing investments and lettin' some of those tradin' profits go to work for me long term, now that the market has come down to current levels. Yeah, I certainly miss the constant daily action, but that's OK with me as I now spend more time doing other activities that typically went on hold when I was watchin' the screens and doin' the research 24/7. Hey, I don't mind tellin' ya that one of the activities I enjoy most are the regular family Scrabble games we now have. Yeah, some might chuckle at that when compared to the excitement of high stakes tradin', but for me, I'm havin' fun! (And if the financials have bottomed here I'll be havin' even more fun! <g>) Gotta run, goin' out to enjoy what looks to be a beautiful day here in the Silicon Valley, so, good luck and regards, AdvocateDevil
