James, <This you may find hard to accept but more than anything else I trade for the challenge in it, >> Jim , me too,,, only more spice , I have to win... When I first started trading pro I remember feeling sorry for the people who were selling this stock at such a low price relative to it's recent past... I remember wrestling with that moral dilema and coming to the conclusion that I was not allowed such frivolities if I were to succeed at this,,, and I wanted to suceed... Bye bye , how did you say it ,, oh yeah,,, Scruples.....But it's not scruples,, it's kill or be killed
