<portfolio was rising by obscene amounts each day, I told my wife "I can't be that good"> We put our net worth on a spreadsheet, let it run out at 12% a year. We were delighted to see that we would be retiring before our 40th birthdays. But now, well, I love my job. We have a great view of the lake there, and the folks I work with are a pure delight on the graveyard shift, ~heh. ...................................... McFarland $173,485 Popular biotechs $170,234 I'm just going to trade very infrequently from time to time inside a Roth IRA. I sold off a couple more biotechs today in another account. I may put the money into a few mutual funds over the next couple years. If I find a fund that holds second tier tech, with a decent percentage of biotechs, maybe something like that. Fact is, not too sure I can pick a good company. I think I can play the market a little on a timescale of weeks to months, but that's about it. And, that might be enough.
