Thanks for the tip. A fellow mentioned over on the loser's thread (spelled looser if anybody should need to cry about the market after this coming monday) posted that we (the losers) should read Graham's book, intelligent investing. Maybe I will lose interest in trading after I read it, God knows I have not had any luck in trading yet...but happily, I have been trading with money I could afford to lose these past five years...and my 401k retirement is still all in cash. Still, I would like to trade myself back up in my IRA, where I've achieved an astounding 2% per year return over the last seven years:( When I look over some of my picks in that acct, I see many good ideas, that I simply got forced out of after losing 20% or so. I am starting to think my rule is wrong--although I will say that if I had doubled down on Tseng Labs, one of my picks three years ago, I would not have done as well as that piddling +2%!
