>>> But the price that you have been offered makes me sick -- considering what I paid for mine barely 15 months ago. Where are you getting this from--mail order or some store?? <<< The store is called CEW (Computers & Electronics Warehouse). I'm not sure if this is a nation-wide chain or not, but know there is one located in Princeton, New Jersey. >>>Also, is it just my imagination or is there more rancor than usual at SI. Let me see -- in the past week, we've had varying levels of rancor regarding immigration and patriotism, trading styles, sexism, market calls --and a couple of people that I have book-marked, Rainier and Jenna--both rather restrained individuals-- have been in fairly vitriolic exchanges, over things that I am not even sure that I fully understand. <<< I'm not sure what the hell's going on, but I'm a bit shocked at some of the names involved. Full moon? El Nino? The cure-all is a divorce. I haven't felt this good in a long time! >>> BTW, do you have a view--in the context of Dave's question-- as to the type of return that you would look to get to make you feel that it is worth the time, effort and risk entailed in trading the markets? I have often wondered about this and even posted about this on dppl's thread many moons ago. <<< Well my story is a bit different now than it was the last couple years. For '97 I set a goal of $1000 / trading day for the year. Came close...short by about 14 days. Of course that doesn't matter since I lost the majority of it prior to leaving my wife (long story...don't ask). In about another month, I'll be prepared to jump back into the market full force using my index trading system mostly at first, and then combing some equity option trades as well. Once I do, I'll post all of my trades as they happen and anyone can see first hand what my monthly return is. I'd prefer not to post a specific monthly return that I desire...just buy and sell on every signal I generate and can afford to act on. Besides if I admitted to the type of return that I'd like to achieve, lisa would accuse me of wanting to be a superpower <<<g>>>. BTW, I plan on getting a futures account set up in a couple of months. FINALLY!
