  5. hi retire45,

    I tried to look at your last year summary but could not find it.
    I usually summarize past 10 weeks but
    how could you summarize your last year?

    What did you achieve?

    What was the best strategy?
    What was the worst decision?

    What did you learn?
    What are your weaknesses?
    What are strong points?

    It came to my mind because I had 9 positive weeks (cca. 9% per week) and last friday I started fly to quality, my account started to shrink rapidly, :). (Daytrading and unexpected takeover proposal)
    Hopefully, if I summarize today evening I'll end up at least flat.

  6. Thanks, been doing well all week and most of yesterday up til 2:00. Ironically, I was fighting/shorting (and consequently getting stopped out of) RIMM all day yesterday! No more of that. Hope today is good! Futures looking nice.
