  1. If you love your job, don't leave. Not many people love their job, so consider yourself lucky.

  3. Ever see the new Trading Markets contest? They got a dozeen or so Playboy bunnies, like, picking stock, oh my god. One of them is up about 30% this year, so of course they interview her and ask her what her approach is and we are suppose to learn from her.

    So what is this bimbo going to tell me?? That silicon is the investment, because it yields diamonds and a free ride on an annual basis.

    When I see that, I tend to think its time to start sharpening my shorting skills.

    I wasn't trying to be a prick but it just seems that you're previous bad spells were in the 2000-2002 bear and your success has been in the three year rebound. To be honest threads like this make me think the top's in place.......

    Great story though and kudo's for your perseverance.

  5. "a dozeen or so Playboy bunnies"

    I loved it when one of them picked Apple (AAPL) because she always eats one a day...:D

    But then, I guess it's as good as most average broker advice....
