Scott, I admit I was naive. But like you I have learned my lesson, and I realize it could have been much worse. Lately, I am so fed up with the media I can barely stand it. There is no such thing as objective, unbiased reporting anymore. It's all about selling advertising or newspapers. Considering that I knew this already I can't believe I let my guard down. I just don't understand why the media is so hot for daytrader blood. I find it very interesting that for whatever reason someone is evidently feeling very threatened by this new phenomena of daytrading. Tara

Scott, read your post about dealing with the press. It reminded me of a story a teacher told my sixth grade class some forty years ago about how a story could be changed to suit the reporters needs. Here is the scenario: There is a horse race that involves only a Russian horse and an American horse. The American horse wins the race. The American reporter reports those facts. The Russian reporters article reports that the Russian horse came in second and the American horse came in next to last, leaving out the fact that it was only a two horse race!
