<Respectfully and Apologetically Yours, > Andrew, the long and the short of it is, you can't win 'em all. How ya doing babe? I was driving through Toronto and the voice on the radio said the market in NYC was down 93.... But from where? Man, I've been completely news-blacked out for 2 weeks. A TSO friend popped up in Niagara Falls to show me a chart and it was the first clue I had on the market in 10 days. You cannot blame yourself for that, man. 'Course, you are an impetuous lad. The earlier post you made to me asked what I was waiting for; to refresh your memory you were going to send me something. I don't know what. Andrew. This is a business where people make mistakes. If the gentleman made mistakes based on your opinion then of course it is unfortunate but we each bear the burden of our own decisions. If this fellow made an investment based on your opinion....well, that was his decision. How are things otherwise? EDIT Just saw the concrete life preserver line. Gotta tellya; my message does look like a concrete life preserver, I guess. Me, I'm hitting the golf course tomorrow. Let me put it in New Jersey terms. This fellow is 50 years old...he lost money...Been there, done that....stop blaming other people. How's that? Feel better now?
