You can all welcome me back at $19 11/16's. I am not trading this stock. These shares will be in my account for probably at least the next year. Hopefully at a profit!

<< Both of you quit moaning. I'm out a cottage on the lake in Maine. Anybody else want to join the "poor me" brigade? Hopefully a year from now BMFM will be back his $1,500 plus, TNN can get his Mercedes, and I can retire! (I promised my wife she could retire if the stock got and stayed above 50 for a year. Can't tell you how excited she was when it was above 50, or how depressed she is now.) >> Okay, I lost $2,000 on my 500 shares ... Of course, TNN lost 2 Mercedes and you must continue to work since it might be awhile before it gets back above 50 ... My mom is depressed too, becuase I told her yesterday that if this dude close above 20, I will buy her a real nice Mother's Day present. Sorry, mom... Going to drink some cheap beer this weekend ...

Todays drop was bigger than I expected. But I don't think it will be the beginning of a slide downwards. The bottom line is that anyone who has been paying attention should have known what the numbers would be. And it is better for the rest of us if those who were not paying attention skip town :-) I do pity you; a nice cottage in Maine sounds pretty good. Then again, we just bought a nice house up on a ridge overlooking Diamond Head and the entire city of Honolulu with the Pacific as a nice backdrop. I suppose I will have to live with that. Assuming of course that I can continue to pay the mortgage :-) I don't plan on retiring for another 30 years or so (I'm 40 now so that is about right). By then I would like a nice cottage somewhere in the Lake District (Northern England; Cumbria). If I could spend Spring and Fall there and Summer and Winter here, I would be as close to heaven as I can imagine..... Cheers, Torben
