=================== Good question, good to put it in writing,SeasideTrends Good thing DEC is NOT over yet; maybe DEC turns out like OCT, NOV........Better than we deserve as Dave Ramsey says. I am in same time zone as Chicago; will not know UNTILL later in week, to tell the truth/poll.
exceeded my goals for 2008. but most of the gains came in sep-nov. can't be sure i am able meet my goals during more normal market.
=========================== Seaside trends; a] Regular market hours are over for 2008, thanks; did not hit yearly business/trading goals, but they're big. Did hit most daily goals, which were set, usually achievable ; 12 hours a day,6 days per week work/exercise[72 hours week], cut back upon loss/trend change. z] Also market related, but not stock market related; did a lot better, by eliminating the middleman.
I met goals for 2 Roth accounts and miserable did not in cash margin acct. Add in 401Ks and I beat mkt.
