Trader J, If I speak of success, without make the calculation exact, I believe well have 7/10, but the problem that I have, it be that following my loss on PRFM. I have buy much less some share, what make that even if I have succeed 7/10, this compensate not my loss. Small profits and large losses. It will be necessary that I start to repurchase many shares, if I want to leave myself there idem. I too often collect small profits but it is not sufficient to cover my losses. If you have suggestions to make me to correct itself, do not hesitate. Thanks in advance, and good week-end, Nicole

My goal might sound weird TJ,but it is to have the same trader portofolio value I had on 1/1/99,on 1/1/2000--if I should go well above that target it would be OK:) I was red hot in January,and was up 65k,but then I tried to trade from a hospital bed and after at home,with a ton of painkillers and also had a post operative cellutis infection and I proceeded to "blissfully" blow 65k in the month of February--so since March though I have gone up 62k--but I have paid out 55k in bills--so I am actually now just 7k above my target---but I learned a major lesson,never trade when a physical wreck---a hard lesson learned. But the good side,now having paid my taxes,I now calculate I only need make 60k for the rest of the year to maintain my target(yes I have to put out money all the time from my trading portofolio)--but all and all,in terms of dollars I calculate our goals are about the same.Good Luck,Max
