Hmm I bought this morning. I would have got in yesterday but was not watching things close enough.. 36 seems good enough. 35 seems good enough resistance that with the open option positions I dont think it will close below 38 or so.. And what profit?? Havent you heard?? its 36! Or are you short? Guess its a good thing I sold out at 41 or so for a 1/4 profit..

Hi Rosemary, "Strewie" Investing Practices! My good friend and fellow AIMer, Steve Kaufman, has been kind enough to create a word that covers many investing situations. The description shown below should go a long way to help fill in our vocabulary for "special situations!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Dear Senor Cheesey---The world has accepted into it's vocabulary, the term "vealies" to signify a non-trade in the management of an AIM directed account. Congratulations and all that other crap. Now, on to more important matters. We need another term. One that signifies utter stupidity. One that recognizes the lack of clear thinking, the lack of discipline. One that recognizes emotional, short sighted decisions that one regrets as soon as one has made them. A term that will instantly identify an event in ones management of ones finances as being one to be held up to immediate and deserved ridicule. Something that may make any one of us stop and pause to consider the ramification of knee jerk reactions. A term that when applied to us individually will be reason enough to hang ones head in shame as we suffer the scorn of others who will just tsk-tsk as they acknowledge the errors of our ways. Something simple, something easy to remember but yet something that will remind us for the rest of our years of the foolishness of not removing our guns from their holsters before shooting from the hip. How about a "kaufman?" Nah, too ethnic! I know---how about "strew?" As in combining "Steve" and "screwed-up." No, I got it---a STREWIE! Yep, that's it for me. If anyone else has any better ideas, you're welcome to submit them. But for now, it's a "STREWIE!" Regards, Steve" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Best regards, Tom
