bgold,

Its all nice for us to discuss our investments here animiously...

But when your family's well being is put in jeopardy because you over invested (too much of your portfolio in one stock, or you went on a margin account because it was such "a sure deal")...

Or some family matter demands funds "right now"...timing is so important when trading, and sometimes it just doesn't work in your favor!

Sometimes you have "to eat Crow" and move to the next stage...

Just my thoughts,

Long for Cash
