ANNIE O (OT) Nice to see you're back. I've been kinda "away" for a while, on the advice of my shrink; he gave me an address, said "go boobeleh, go...go now". Turned out to be the basement of a church. Me in a church! Ten-twelve people sitting around a table, smoking, drinking coffee. Mmmm. I had a feeling. Then I was introduced, asked to stand up and say a few words. It went kinda like this; "My name is Lee" I said in a quivering voice "and I'm...and I'm...AND I'M A DAY-TRADER" There, I said it. There were a few "Hi Lee's" from some f the folks sitting around the table, a few nods. Encourage, I continued. "I've been a day-trader for quite some time. I told myself that I didn't have a problem, that I could handle it. I thought noone knew. But Suzy my sidekick, my kids and friends all knew." More nods from around the table. "I guess it got worse and worse, and I think I hit rock-bottom last week. I traded and trade...couldn't seem to stop. Just one more trade I promise myself. Heck, I got up that morning and swore that I'd go easy, stay firmly in control. Then the market opened, Maria Bartiromo got me all excited with her breathless reports and I was off to the races. (Annie gotta run... gotta trade.I'll continue this later). (Lee)
