Glen, Early on in the correction I got headaches that got progressively worse as the selling intensified. It soon felt like I was being beaten over the head with a baseball bat. Then came the puking feeling-several times during the day when I felt like my entire insides were going to puke out. Then at the close today came intense rage. Now I don't care anymore and I no longer have any fear-tommorrow I'm buying calls with the little buying power that remains. I've heared that some soldiers during battle eventually get an adrenaline rush where they have no fear. John(insane perhaps)
