Thomas sweet dear, yes, we have lasted longer than SYSF...:))) It was a stallion stock that turned into something to go to the glue factory. It taught me alot. And one thing, though this never hurt me but I saw it on the SYSF thread---never fall in love with a stock. Never marry/mate with a stock....just copulate when appropriate....:))) Yes, I have been around the trading world in 1,095 days---survived what I considered insurmountable ignorance and am still trading. Experimented alot, went to "school" in trading (still in school)...:) And presently tonite I am updating my "farm" via Linda Raschke's "rubber band" theory.....whereby a stock stretches just "so far" before it wants to go in the opposite direction.....I call it my "plus and minus" list of my farm.....:)) Too many +'s in a row and it is time for a turnaround and vice versa. I find I look for as much simplicity as possible. Graduated to several indicators. Have supercharts. Studied under a mentor. Traded the S&P. In thestreet.com contest now and about 20ish out of 6,000...:)--always loved the freedom of contests--you can live your fantasies out---it also shows you how smart you are which increases your "real trading " confidence..... Traded other's accounts. Have two other accounts right now. Going for "professional". But guess what---all the personal weak spots show up regularly. Whereas "most" cannot get out of a trade. My weakness is still pulling the trigger. Have had some deep deep valleys I would not wish on my worst enemy. Have some published poetry. Wrote some proposed articles for a column for thestreet.com (they were kind and encouraging but didn't bite). I still have the extreme sport passion for trading....but I don't tend to go off the most daring cliffs while trade snowboarding.....and I don't have to go to the hospital as much and spend less time in emotional trading casts....:)) So that is how I get back around to the first part of this post... "yes, we have lasted longer than SYSF..:)))" hope you are well Thomas..... you deserve the best.... Autumn
