Looks like there were a bunch of us that got in right at the top. Wished I knew then what I know now.:) Thanks for all the goodwill. Expected a flame or two but I guess everybodies in a pretty good mood. What are your goals for the year? Mine are simply to end the year profitably. I dont really...

The simple fact is that the system is too complicated for anyone to predict what will happen next. Ive been a confirmed pessimist for 50 years and the only thing it has done has kept me from making a lot of money. Somehow we muddle through from one crisis to the next.

Isnt the format ES-2003-03...

Thanks all. Looks like a go.
