Yes Portee, I probably do need a break. This is however serious business.I have lost more money in the last month than I care to think about. I'm sure you and others are in the same boat.That however does not help me. I can sit and wait and not think about it or sit and wait and think what my best approach may be. I would prefer to be proactive.

Under the circumstances I think I am being very calm and rational. I do however have to be realistic and very attentive to ongoing events with kxl as well as my other holdings that may require adjustment.

I understand you are trying to make light of the situation,but please forgive me if I realise that I alone am responsible for my investments and in times of turmoil I believe that paying even more vigilant attention is required.Besides I prefer red wine and scotch!! Rico
