wb,

Thank you. I know that you and I haven't talked much...but I have always appreciated every one of your posts. And I'm glad that you agree with my statements. One of the things that makes the Internet so great is the fact that it makes us know that we are not alone.

I know full well the feeling of fear when it comes to money. For the past several years I've had to fight each month for enough money to pay my bills. That's why the stock market became so important to me. I saw in it a chance to better myself. And too, that's why I had to become a trader. I had no choice. It was either that...or lose everything. During the times when I couldn't trade...such as in the beginning when I only had about $1,000 invested....I had to work 3 different jobs in order to make ends meet. As that $1000 grew...I was able to work less jobs...and finally this past summer, I was able to take two glorious months off. Which was good....because I couldn't have withstood the pace of 3 jobs for much longer. Now I'm back to having to work two jobs because so much of my money is frozen in that gold mining stock that was halted. Do I feel fear about that? Oh yes...at times I do....but I still have the feeling that everything will turn out ok. I was stupid to put so much of my money into a Vancouver stock....but I was trying to make enough to not have to work in the Fall either. Oh well....I lost...but it has turned out good. I love my new main job....and I've begun another endeavor that will hopefully in six months be bringing in a fairly good cash flow too.

I think my envy is for those who make enough in real life to have their stock money be "extra" money. It must be a wonderful feeling to not have to worry about paying the bills with one's stock money.

Anyway....sorry to be rambling on so. It's a good thing it's the weekend and in about an hour I have to leave. Will be gone for most of the day.

Thanks again, wb!
