Yes, I'm always here lurking. Here and at Tim Luke's thread. They actually got me to post on Tim Luke the other day. I actually said something, which doesn't happen very often. I'm always looking for position plays that I don't have to watch every minute. Here in the boondocks of western KY, the ISPs slow down so often, I have to be extra careful what I play. This week I really got fed up and had my ISP and SI both run trace route reports. UUNet is in between my ISP and SI and that's where the problems lie. Today I could get one site out of four I go to, the most important one, Fidelity, where the money is, and I lucked out and made some money. There were seven weeks this year where I lost all my nerve and didn't trade. Then I made $1500 in 15 minutes on ITRA and got my confidence back. So I play your picks that aren't day traders, Tim's picks that aren't daytraders, and I'm trying the end of quiet period on the good IPOs. Try to buy somewhere during day 15-18 and wait for the buy recs, unless I see a run-up before that, I'll get that also. I've read that this little trick has seen its better days already, too many people doing it. But I have ONEM and ABTL and next week I will know if that trick still works. Pretty soon, I'll go to cash and we will travel in our old, beatup motorhome. I told my husband to go by himself and I'd stay home and finance him, but he didn't like that idea (ggg). I sure hope I can get back into ASTN soon at a good price. I really wanted to hold that one for a while but I had to do what I did today. Darn doctors cost me a whole lot more than they charge me. I'll be looking for the next position play from this board. Thanks for all the things I've learned here. And I follow you over at Tiger too. Carolyn
