  1. well said Princessa. I Met my wife when I was penniless...I mean chapter 7 poor. She must have saw deep value in my name. Because if I were her I would have sold me short with impunity.

    Meet a good catch when you have nothing and if they stay dont let them go!

  2. Married for nearly 50 years, the lil lady knows better than to nag about my trading. She let me have it though when she found out that I nearly got wiped out following the Hunt Bros. into the silver market. Nowadays she gets her daily spending cash and leaves me alone, just the way I like it. I had a close call last month when she said she thought she saw my car parked at the local Go Go bar during trading hours. I told her that was ridiculous. I was lucky she didn't decide to go in., she would have caught me with my skippers hat on handing out lincolns like Big Daddy Warbucks.:cool:

  7. Actually trading is not how I make my primary income. And we do quite well.

    Why the need to be a dick?

  9. My chrystal ball is just fine, I never trade on big event days, do you? ( what a schmuck if you do)The reversal call was made with the dow up 110 points, and it closed up 138. Not much of a miss considering the trip q's I trade are lower now than they were Friday when I said go short, the reversal will turn out to be a top, how's that, jackball.
