>>> Ron re: FOCUS ... damn F was on my screen all day .... while I sat frozen waiting for the grand dive.
/Zsue shakes her head in disgust

don't feel too bad

I've watched COF on my screen for days
while Darth has traded it for nice gains

ditto for a dozen others

easy for me to preach, more difficult to folllow my own advice

have not only "sat frozen" but put a few dents in the desk with my forehead over it

>>psss. remember all ... tax loss selling till the end of the year <<

Sue, I'm wondering whether tax loss selling will be a big factor this year. I sure don't need to generate any further losses :-(.

Re stop losses - I have the following pasted to my computer:

"WHAT STARTS BAD ENDS WORSE".

It keeps me from hoping that a deteriorating situation will turn around and make me whole.
