Just thoughts. I'll follow up in a private manner later. Keep it up Tim!! a quote to respect: "... Well, you know, fame for fame's sake is—you know, always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And you have to give them something they haven't heard. There has to be a reason they'll come to your website. If it's just made-up fantasies, why bother? You know, if I'm so bad and if I'm so useless and I'm just a gossip hound, why was ... reading me the night before his first day at the ... I don't quite understand that. It seems to me I'd spend my time over at the New York Times, who gets everything right. Advice is to follow your heart and to do what you love. And I certainly am doing what I love. Again, I wrote the ... for one reader for a while—a couple of readers—5, 10, 15 readers. I had a thousand—the first couple of months I thought, oh, that peaked that out. Again, I'm up to these millions I never thought I'd see. And with the advent of Web TV and cable modems, I don't know where this is going. Sixty million readers? What is civilization going to do with the ability of one citizen—without advertisers, without an editor—to broadcast to that wide group of people? The ... says we need to rethink it. I say we need to embrace it. And it will take care of itself—it always has. It will get evened out. " I like the innovative spirit of the thread. The people here have plenty to say. Tim facilitates these thoughts nicely. Thanks and appologies for robbing an inspirational quote. I'm sure you will understand. Glenn

Tim, It's quite commendable that you desire to post your entry into and exit from a trade. However, everyone should recognize that your first priority (and presumably everyone else's) is trading. It is abundantly clear that there is no p&d here (if you have been following Tim's posting activities for any length of time you know), and from time to time this kind consideration may not be met. In all cases this should be a non-issue. Everyone has different gratification and pain thresholds and will enter and exit trades accordingly. Those looking for a Guru to dictate each and every trade and each and every buy and sell decision need to reconsider their position and consider getting a full-service broker. Coat-tail- ing may work for a while but ultimately each individual must take responsibility for their choices as there is no recourse in any case. Threads such as Tim's serve as a great source of information from investors and an opportunity to benefit from those with many years of learning at the school of hardknocks. Readers should not expect perfection nor are they necessarily owed disclosure. Some of us have little to offer but a few offer so very much. This current on-line trading era is providing a great period for all to enjoy (and benefit from :)). Ample returns. Thanks, Tim ---> Rockin' the Market
