Whether playing the markets or flying the friendly skies, you must master your emotions if you are to succeed, not to mention survive. Internet chat rooms like The Silicon Investor offer a fascinating insight into the irrational emotions of many investors. Woe unto those relatively prudent souls that attempt to deflate the rags-to-riches dreams of these participants with a bit of healthy skepticism: "Why are you on this thread? Why don't you just slither away?" Or: "What is your real purpose here? Are you a short seller?" Or this rose-colored view: "I've been a shareholder [in XYZ Corp.] for over a year, and I truly believe I will be rewarded... and the world itself will be rewarded from [XYZ's] technology." stockdetective.com

Hi John! I can't disagree with your bottom line - it's the contracts for sure. Unfortunately, Lev's latest comments have muddied the waters some as far as us knowing just when that may be happening. Some more from the Stock Detective: <<For investors, price is the prime mover of emotions. As long as a stock is going up, its owner feels good. If the stock plunges, however, his mood may sink faster than the stock, causing him to bail out at a low price. If emotions control your investment decisions, you will consistently buy high and sell low.>> Having been up to double digits and down to the $3's several times now without budging from my position, I guess I don't fall into the above category. But then, I don't have those nimble trading skills like you do, John. Heh! Regards, - T -
