Howdy Blue, mine works too, 2 one-shots at tin cans (otc 909s) & PQT's off my map & yesterday my heart went out to PAYV but today It showed me the money so took The Forward Split Early But Kept Some as it fits into the wagon circle. CPQ and the TYPE II were pluses in the tidepool of minus today, and watching 'em wriggle happy was fun so couldn't get my Blazer off the divan to net 'em and put 'em in the bucket! The temp was almost 70 here midday, and an early warm spring day and a glass of iced tea while sitting by a sunny open window passed time away before I knew it. Same as yesterday, there's always tomorrow to do something about tomorrow (excusemeister takes a bow)but if James Bond gets away with a hairy back on the beach then At Least I should be able to slink that one by Techride a time or two LOL! Really, it's not often I relax in the daytime in the winter, and going with the mood because it makes me feel independent and young to have the choice! Been backing away from "workaholic mode" for a spell, spring fever or whatever. Thought this just now - for a long time it was so much easier for me to buy stocks than to sell 'em. I'd hold em, greedy for what they might be doing in a year if selling it for "only" two month doubler now. Had stocks confused with the dread of forgetting to buy a lottery ticket and seeing the winning numbers come up as mine was my thoughtcrime. Grokking that, so saw the issue more clearly; that to respect such a bird-in-the-hand gift when it shows such a profit, and keeping some shares too, is The Big Win/Win. Expensive lesson learned, as Blue says "price of the education", sometimes Opportunity Knocks But Once! When revved up to unhesitating sell on good profits turning retro, not looking back, putting most of it right back in, was when the technets grew fast. Yeah, slow so far this week, in a contemplative mode more than an action mode, I guess. Thinking how best to start isolating profits for something else - you got me started thinking about beautiful land, Blue, "It is the land that last". I haven't been keeping cash til lately... a few times last year cut it much too close for comfort with the moneymarket almost empty when the stockmarket was also low - that got me nervous and mad at myself for putting it on the edge like that. Well, each time I got lucky and it worked out; so one of my New Years resolutions was "Never Again"in '99! Staying low in cash (after all, I do have my dayjob) got me where I wanted to be by now, faster. Now it's been a year of nervousness & amazing growth; time to step back and take a looky. So that's why I've been slower than usual; it's a sea change. Time to get all in harmony for the next leap, watching 'em as they are, taking a breather. Good to watch you flaming on the firing range, Blue...as I was when you were looking at ranches in your woody remember? But don't be surprised if tomorrow or the next day I'll be KA-BOOMING again, depends on what it takes to map out the plan, & if this weather holds. Cheers to All 909s, Joanie
