>>>>the chain letter mentality of some stock market children<<<<<< That's a really great observation about investors, and/or posters. I have to apologize to the board for my upbeat post earlier today. I hadn't paid any attention to the market, although I did check in on Ampex a few times, and I wasn't upset by the quarter point loss for the day. I was trying to relax, as Carl suggested I do. So I burned a bunch of neat CDs all day on my Philips Unit. First, I did a Marvin Rainwater compilation, then a Lonnie Johnson comp, and I ended the day with some of Johnny Cash's stuff from the 3 Bear Family Box sets I have. I had a good time. Really, I should have known better. Then I read this board, only to find all my heroes, TA gurus, and other personable folks telling us that the market might crash tomorrow. So much for the chain letter, and probably, good advice. Well, maybe it will. After my initial panic died down, I rethought my life. (Ampex has a way of causing your life to flash before your eyes, sometimes more than once in a day.) Nevertheless, I remembered that I only get sick and vomit when my stocks are doing really well. But when they're in the dumper, I figure it's what I ...really.... deserve for having led such a trashy, selfish life, and after all, I only modify my behavior and thinking when bad things are finally happening to me. So, if it goes down....I'll be fine......Deep down, I figured God never really liked me at all, let alone actually want me to succeed at anything. After all,a fool and his money are soon parted. I never deserved to be this lucky with Ampex in the first place. Good luck to everyone if the market crashes tomorrow. ... al
