re: how you do it sort of thing. would you mind saying, how did you get your overall feel for things. What?????? Come on now. Long, long story. In the beginning it was me and my popular Science (still have all the old copies small size ones, anyone want to buy them <gg>) that got from my pal (the math whiz currently employed designing jet engines for GE) and his dad (the first engineer I ever meet, Mr. VW (bug), that I (the anti accountant) talk my father (the accountant) in to getting for me. I was 10. Born was the love of technology foster by men landing on the moon. Skip high-school what a waste land! Went to trade school to become a technician got all As but there where no girls. Started reading Scientific America. Off to college to become an engineer, discovered girls in a big way! Played my guitar while watching my buddies struggle at being musicians, took off semester to be roadie and lived in the Fl. Keys for awhile, met my wife, had her buying Scientific America for me, went back to school to finished. Got a job with Amoco, was sent to Clear Lake Texas right next to the space center (I was one happy space nerd) discovered the market (read everything I could get my hands on concerning the market, and Thank you Ronnie Raygun the Pres.) made more money in the market then at my job. Quit, to trade full time, lost my hearing, moved by Fermi Lab St. Charles IL., spent many hours in the library there, discovered Science News (weekly mag on, well, Science stuff <gg>) Join C-Serve "CompuServe" text based, used my MAC plus and 2.4k modem, AOL was a joke! Posted many post concerning the super data highway that our VP said he thought up, decided that the shovel makers would be the big money makers. Started record store with my struggling musician friends, found out they did know how do run it. Bought first IBM PC. Moved from C-Serve to AOL found the Motley Fools, made un godly amount of money off of IOM, discovered SI. Bought another PC. Started reading Networking mags, books, anything that I could find. Discovered DELL (woo, well if I have to keep buying PC, since they are obsolete almost right out of the box, others are going have to too) made another ungodly amount of money off of DELL. Started reading Interactive Week. Bought another PC, started to see that the PC was reaching a apex. Bought AOL and ATHM big time with leverage from DELL gain. Saw that PC would be by-passed by hand held devices, the light bulb went off on a Bondi Beach Down Under, everyone had CELL phones and was using e-mail to contact there friends all over the world. Used leverage from DELL/AOL/ATHM gain to by large amount of QCOM. Started selling DELL. There you have it. I was born to invest in this market. ROFL I'm still learning, I hope I never stop. I left out all the mistakes (too many to list), I have learn to keep them small as possible, at least I try too. Greg
