Dear Thread, My Angels have told me it is time to move on. After looking back over a few of my posts, I realize that I have become more of an irritant than a contributor, for that I apologize. I lurked around the board about 1 1/2 yrs before posting, would probably have been better to have remained a lurker. From Kemble on down you all have handled yourself with class, even Geoff who really got on me an Chuzz to. You people are real lucky to have each other. Glee Club or no Glee Club. Mohan deserves special credit for his never ending briefs, at least as a lurker I can still receive that benefit. Unbelievable minds and informed people on this thread. I believe in giving credit where it is due. Remember - It isn't so much what's on the table that matters as what's on the chairs! Voltaire

freeus, *OT** I use to just invest in Mutual Funds only, until about 5 years ago. I started trading and just about lost my butt big time! My father in-law convinced me either "invest" or "trade" with the idea, the turtle wins the race. Never lose a paper profit! And keep a record of everything you believe to be a trend or pattern. To advertise the system would hurt me, I 'm sure, but it basically operates on the premise of selling gaps and buying oversold moments in the market. As the markets keep running up, there are many times I can't make a dime because the pullbacks are required for this to work! Lesson 1: AVOID THE BIG HIT!! Many people make a ton of money but don't know when to sell. That was my problem years ago. Lesson 2:Remember ZE!!! Bought that @11, watched it go to 26 and then convinced myself it would keep going only to sell it @14!!! 6000 shares and $72,000 left on the table!!! Turned around and bought IOMG @49!!!!! Dang!! Sold it @43. Any questions???!!!! How about that IOM??!!! sz
