har har har!! The Riverboat gambling has worked so far in turning big losses into big gains on most all the one's we've chosen, but every now and then I have to think about that huge position we both had in ACTM and how lucky we were to have gotten that one last short squeeze before the big dump from no return. It's the gamblers creed to say " if I only get my money back, I'll change (quit). Right now I'm trying to get back my July tech losses. The size of the PGO "bet" was chosen to accomplish that goal (be it conscious or subconscious). It's like they have my money and I want it back now!!!! So far PGO has returned more than 1/2 the losses, but I want it all because it was my money!!!! One of these days it may not turn out so good.

As many shares of PGO as I have..and I wish I didn't have the first 1/2 of them LOL! I can relate to that statement...especially the part about the "first half of the shares" purchased. As long as we're telling stories....did you hear this one? On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die," she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?" For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril. They all stared, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a man stands up in the rear of the plane. He is gorgeous, tall, built, with reddish-blond hair and hazel eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, while unbuttoning his shirt ......one button at a time. .......No one moves. .......He removes his shirt. .......Muscles ripple across his chest ......he whispers: ......."Here, iron this!"
