What's the saying? Oh yes. Winners never quit and quitters never win, but those who never quit and never win are idiots.

>>>>>Would it be persistent or stupid to keep going.<<<<< Boy, that's a tough one. Can I punt? Because, I cashed out last week, the day Brazil crashed (first day), luckily by the time I could get to my broker, everything had come back better than it was the day before, and I just felt totally p'o'ed about not being able to get the broker on the phone until 2 in the afternoon, so I told him to sell everything. So I feel kinda like the Pope advising people on extramarital sex. "You no playa the game, you no makea the rules." I think the market is crazy, and I think that individual investors are getting slammed. You have big companies with big, big computers running hundreds of thousands of potential trades, and you can't compete. But, I suspect, and I may be wrong, that your problem may be that you are too far-sighted, that you have great ideas, but that your ideas are ahead of their time, and you are not patient enough to wait for them to come into fruition. You have good insight, need to work on timing?
