Thean...<<bw - how are your itchy fingers doing? Cash is king eh?>>
How true...even my itchy fingers stayed away from the trigger today. Experience and cash is king right now. It was a great year on the way up, but as Tom Petty sings:
Learnin' to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing...


or Jimmy Cliff in the reggae favorite:
The harder they come
The harder they fall
One and all...


It was a real learning experience this last year for me. I traded out up $5k for '97, after being up almost $25k. So far a little down in '98, but my cash is in bonds and sleep at night is worry free...
Don't fall in love with any stocks people...they are just trading vehicles to [hopefully] make us all money...
