Who said I was sorry for you? I am in awe of your trading prowess. I'm just waiting to see whether I should send tithings to you or larry, the rival trading gods. If I could earn 3000% on my money in one year, I'd then dump it into t-bills and see how many different mountains, in how many different countries I could ski in a year. Then again, if I really expected that I would achieve that (as opposed to "had achieved", which I would attribute to luck or divine intervention) and made such a claim, I'd expect that most here would scoff if not openly ridicule my claims. But then, maybe I misunderstood. If the S&P ends 1998 with a 1-2% gain, would you guys beat it by 1500%-3000% by earning 30% on your money?
