    4 longs, all on smaller probationary positions, 3 small wins and a scratch, +306 Blocked IBM, DIS, BMY, WYE, AXP, BAC My corpulent phalanges cost me a few bucks again(entered an exit order off by a dollar). I wonder if Nutrisystem has a program for hands only. Anybody got Dan Marino's cell...

    Thanks Shreddog; what service were those headlines from? Today 3 long, a win, a loss, and a scratch, +94 TXN felt contrite and refunded some of yesterday's loss, but was offset a bit by MER, who was pretty whippy.
