Actually, Bob I have had too short a leash on stop losses.....one point. So I have increased it to 2 points. I am not sure what confused you but if it was OXHP it was the idea of l,000 shares buying at the end of day......and then having it gap down a "godzillion" shares the next am which would make a 2 point stop loss look like a day in the park. I like to know when to call myself right or wrong soon. I can "dream" about absolutely daring plays like 5,000 shares of APM but that would require a lobotomy at this point to be able to be like I started out..... Actually we had a crops farm cause animals needed too much work and the market for them could cause you to have to continue to feed them every day even though you lost more and more money on them daily.... (course we benefitted from the noise and smell of the pigs on the next farm via the breeze....:)......even then the market influenced our lives.....I remember my dad listening to the radio to try and "guess" when to submit selling of our crops. He had a friend who did futures "in the city" and would rub in that he made more in two weeks on the market in corn then my dad did for all the work he did for the year! Certainly was a novel idea in those days..... I am surprised you can look at a chicken! Bet shorting BOST would really have felt good! Autumn
