    Good choice. I've always liked that one. I also like "When Will I See You Again?" I added lyrics to that one. It's a hobby I have. -1bigsteve (o:

    Questions on house 'flipping'

    I have had experience in flipping houses in the late '70's - early '90's and I have learned, the hard way, the ins and outs of what to do and not to do. Maybe I can save you some grief. This is what I have learned. I read a book in 1978 on buying, fixing up then selling or refinancing...

    Can you live with 100 plus Degrees summers forever?

    I lived through 100+ degrees in Fresno in the fifties and I'm still breathing. But it's a dry heat... Yea, so is a blast furnace! I remember it hitting 125 F. in LeGrand, CA in August 1966! I though I would die. -1bigsteve (o:

    (Why) do most traders lose?

    Why traders fail? From my experience: 1. Lack of self-discipline. 2. Not understanding charts, patterns, trendlines, price-volume relationship. 3. Ego. "I bought this stock, it can't possibly go down on me, after all I'm a smart guy. Wait, why is it sinking? Oh my Gawd it's down...

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    Doing a "full smash" restore, does erase everything and reloads all of the original software that came with the computer. Any of your files, photos, documents, email, etc., gets erased. Using a "restore point" will not erase much but will just change your computer's settings to an earlier...

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    I've never heard of doing too many "back to the out-of-the-box" restores on a desk top. I've done three already and each time it works real good. But as far as doing too many "restore points" I don't know. I've restored my computer back to previous dates several times with no problems...

    What's the general strategy for people on this forum?

    Try Toni Turner's book: "The Beginner's Guide To Short Term Trading." One of the best I ever read! I wish I had it when I got going. Also her book for Day Traders if that is your avenue. Dr. Alexander Elder's book: "Trading For A Living" is very good as is all of William J. O'Neil's books...

    Jokes

    Three couples die and go to Heaven where they meet St. Peter. St. Peter looks at the first man and says: "We can't let you into Heaven because you have money on your mind. You married a woman named "Penny." St. Peter looks at the second man and says: "We can't let you into Heaven either...
