Okay, Yes, I maybe a little stubborn (stupid or crazy) but in my temporary moment of weakness I reconsidered my direction and stayed in making changes to my strategies and getting advice where I could. I am still here, and the losses have been lessened making for some progression. Granted...

I wanted to thank everybody that contributed to this forum, and more importantly to those that contacted me privately. I think its time for me to move on. I will hold my head high. Good luck to all, Porkchop

I made another tuition payment today. My days are definitely numbered. Am I an idiot for finding positive cues out of a day of losses?

Thanks, I sent you a PM with reply.

Ouch..
