"I too have a couple of friends who made small fortunes in the market, but both of them started with large fortunes. LOL"

Yup, don't hate being the one who has friends who did this or that? LOL Someday, IMO, Patriot is going to make you, I, and everyone here, the "friend" in someones success story. Of course money isn't everything, but ya know what I mean.

Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
