I am going to risk adding to the touchy feely sub thread started by TM's remarks. For a moment, the few postings about my trade today made me feel like the can opener next to the can of worms. I don't usually post a whole lot here, even though I have owned our stock since before I joined SI. Normally, I look in on TPRO a few times throughtout the day, just to see how it's doing. I watched it descend, knew it would return, and so for the first time I bought and sold this stock within the same day. I used a trading account which I had just recently set up, and made some profit, in what seemed like minutes really. I had never done anything like this before. For me, selling has either been because of disenchantment or because a goal had been reached and I had the profit earmarked for something else. As I said, I plan on holding the TPRO I have acquired to date as an investment. I had set up my modest trading account just a few days ago and got into an online service so I could try my hand at some trading as well as keeping up my investing, which I have been doing for a long time off line. So far, on advice, I have just been paper trading. Except for this one TPRO trade today, which actually was such an almost sure thing that it really says nothing at all about my ability as a trader. But it does say (touchy feely part coming up here) a lot about many of the people here who share in this community of ours on this board, those who have done all this incredible research, organized it, commented on it, and who have not only shared all this very important information but much of themselves as people and as investors as well. This is no small thing, in any forum or arena of life. People like me, ordinary and fairly inexperienced in the market, relatively speaking, are to be grateful for this quality of intelligence and support. Also, beyond the primary purpose of this board, there is a lot to be learned about human nature and life itself. I just love this interesting life I am living, and I have yet to find anything that will serve my own growth, my peace of mind, and my vitality, and nothing that will better serve those I care about, than honesty, the striving for authenticity, and the willingness to be ethical and loving. The belief that the opposites of these qualities are what are necessary for success is a fallacy that unfortunately a lot of people have somehow learned to mistake for truth. Also, it is not true that these essential qualities are not to be found in people of position in the world of business or in the marketplace. They can be found out there, and in here too. I have enjoyed my postings today. Thanks. Best, Charliss
