C. Lawrence, OFF TOPIC.... Well its a long story... Always wanted to be a full time private trader, went to B School in early 80's got a BBA in securities and exchanges and went to it with a couple college buddies had an IBM xt i think with an 8088 chip, thought I had the world by the tail. Busted my butt 80 hours a week trading and to DD on NYSE and OTC made some money, had a shallow boring life. Did nothing for no one but me... Felt very empty and nonproductive, going no where fast....Kept at it. had a ton of money in October of '87....had pocket change in November of '87. Saw years of work get wiped out in a few days. Made me stop and think. Life is short, to short to be that selfish. Needed the rush of putting it on the line and wanted to make it count for more then a quick buck for me and Uncle Sam. Went into EMS and on to nursing. No regrets about any of it, life is good, have found the balance I never knew I needed. Getting back into trading more and more. Now work only part time as an RN, good money, benefits and a sense of belonging to something bigger then wall street and the race for the all mighty dollar. Nursing completes me, trading drives me... I am balanced, I am happy, I am long TNRG... Best of it all, Jim
