Dale, I don't know how you would consider who really wins..You could pick an investor who bought VISX at 10 last year, as his only holding, and sells it for 80...He whips me with his percentage return...I am looking for 200%+ return this year(that is a goal)..Will let you know at the end of the year if I reach it...I think I finally have gotten rid of the part of me that was taking unnecessary risks and failed to always set stops..I have become more serious,disciplined in every trade I make..I don't like to give out figures, and this will be the last time I do, but last week was a good week, $7300 in takehome...I don't just scalp NEM for profits...I look upon trading at this point as a life or death ordeal, that I must win...When I make a trade now, I always think of my wife looking over my shoulder saying, "Mark, is that really a smart trade, give me 5 reasons you bought that stock at that price!"..If I can't explain it to the imaginary Jeanne, I am in trouble... Take care, Mark
