I thought the numbers looked good enough to hold all mutual funds and not transfer to fixed. December I think will be okay - a little shakey, but nowhere like last year. I do expect to see more of a January effect, though. I probably won't make trading a career. I am presently waiting for an offer from a company I have been in discussions with for about 2 months now. I approached the comapny I am with now about putting to gether an exit package for me, and they were most generous, although I did have to sign a whole lot of legal papers. I trade well, but I don't really care for daytrading. It isn't really what I am the best at. GE, Tenneco, and WI all allowed me to make some fundamental changes to what they were, where they were going, and how they operated. In my career I have spent over a billion dollars of other people's money making those changes. And I believe those companies and the hundreds and in some cases thousands of people who worked there benefited, grew, made a better world in some small way. It was time for me to move on. To do it at a different level. I intervied with both GM and Delphi Corporate last year, and one I turned down and one found me not to be a 'culture fit'. WhatI found was a company so wrapped up in the mechanics of being big and self-benefiting, that they were unable to make the kinds of changes necessary to transform them into something better. Which brings me to DCX - the American automakers are arrogant, but Mercedes will change the old Chrysler, and the company won't look like it does now by next Easter. I am following the stock, as I think it will become very volatile and ripe for some plays soon. have a great weekend everyone. lastshadow
