Hi Tim, Being new at this, I really appreciate your advice, and agree that for long term returns, the turtles are the way to go... That's why I only have a very small percentage of our portfolio in an online acct., where I can jump in and out of risky rabbits, and even riskier OTC BB stocks... so far I am only up a little, have lost big on some, made alot on others... My real portfolio is safely in the hands of our very conservative broker...where it belongs <ggg>, not in my inexperienced itchy-trigger-finger gambling hands... I am here for fun and to learn. I hope that some day by following experienced traders like you I may feel confident enough to manage my "real" portfolio... but that will be a long way off, and if I ever do feel that confident, you can believe it will only be with turtles... I am telling you this because your kind words tell me you worry about us new guys and gals losing our shirts... I hope you will worry less about me if I tell you it won't be my shirt I'm losing, only a cuff or a collar, and I can get another... Thank you Tim, for your caring. Best, Kathy
