rr- Are you playing this market and making money or sitting on you butt doing nothing? i listened to your talk in atlanta. i even took notes so i could share it with clappy. rule #1) become debt free i'm still working on that one. one more year should get me free of what i racked up on credit cards to buy the QCOM calls that went south on me. i also had to borrow a huge chunk to pay the capital gains taxes from the common stock i sold to put in the options play. i was upside down pretty far, thought about bankruptcy but it didn't feel right since i borrowed the money on my word. so, no, i ain't playing the market till i take care of rule #1) (i'm almost there)<g> Tell me something good that has happened with you lately. i got to meet wharfrat last week as he was coming through from CA to LA with a truckload of medical supplies for the hurricane victims. fed him some good new mexican food at sadies, put him up for the night, and sent him off to the swamps the next morning with some fresh hot coffee, a tank of gas and a few extra bucks to help with expenses. what a great person and role model he is. people helping people. it's good for the soul. he's on his way back tonight. should be here again in the morning. and... kidd gets out of prison again in three weeks. hooray! i sure have missed him. he's got a great sense of humor and always comes through with it when the going gets tough... (which is pretty often for bank robbers). <g> how about you counselor? heard from frank p. hoosen lately? -polvie
