Hi KG4: I have it nearly worked out as to how to handle investments this year: 1. 66% in ten stocks, and 33% in 2005 Leaps when they are available, which would be maybe 6 of the stocks 2. $6 or $10k set aside for options plays 3. Expected return for the year is 133% plus whatever I can make or lose on the short term options 4. Reduce my trading from 6 trades per day average to maybe half that, which will reduce the brokers pay to less than $100/day 5. I have owned about 7 of the stocks for quite some time so have some confidence in those which calms the nerves a bit. This should result in some improvement, but there are still rough water to wade thru. For example, I know when Greenspan talks the market goes down but still cannot bear to sell because its going to go back up a few days later. Sit and sweat. Then when tech stocks report earnings, like Intc or Fdry, more of them tend to go down rather than up. What to do???? Just hope for luck, like owning NT, because without it I would not be writing here. If anyone is curious what I am buying I will send a list via a PM request. But if anything heads for the cellar I can sell it sooner than you can say Jack Robinson. Regards Sig
