>>>>>If you do opposite trades, one of you is bound to break his or her losing streak.<<<<< Mike, I have actually been thinking about this post. At first, I thought it was funny because I was thinking that the stock market is not a zero-sum game, unlike, say, a football game. Then, I started wondering if I was right? Is the stock market, or isn't it, a zero sum game? After I perplexed myself for a while, I decided, hey, let's "Ask Michael Burke." If anyone knows, it's Mike. (A more cynical person would wonder whether I was merely flattering you to get out of thinking for myself, but I am truly perplexed, oh great one.) CobaltBlue
