The dust is settling... I now have only a few more positions to mop up and some money to shift from one account to another. On June 20 1998 when I wrote reply #2359 (an essay on options) my portfolio had a liquidation value $436,000 after starting with $80,000 only 8 months before. I was arrogant and out of control. As near as I can tell, I will have to deposit another $5,000 to get to zero. I still have other investments, my house, my job and my family. I am well. I am still in shock and mourning. It was only money. Nobody died. I didn't lose my future, I only changed it. I will miss the fun and ability to "move the market" far more than I will miss the money. I am going to Europe for the next 2 weeks and be with my family. I'll check back in when I get back. You all be careful out there. Ray
