Sue 13 you know, you are right I have been beating on myself for not holding at least some of it a few days ago I was 100% positive that I would hold it to hell but it is so darn hard to look at a big gain and leave it on the table, especially over a long weekend and I made a few good long flips on it today then three losses in a row trying to find a bottom on it; dumb but made 20 x's more on the short than I lost on the long attempts I did a bit better with patience on my SKYM short, covered yesterday at 17 from 24 1/8 and 16 today from 21 but; I had promised myself that I would wait for single digits on it and yesterday near the close I took a huge risk on Brazil that they would float the real (which they did today) and bought TNE at 8 3/8 and 5/8 sold at 10 1/4 and 1/2; to watch it go to 12 am a jerk for selling, forgot that I could use a trailing sell stop why do we lose it during market hours I will never know now, don't offer me cheeze with the whine this was an excellent week for me and I am very satisfied and grateful but but but have a great weekend
