Here's a copy/paste from the email I just sent out:
Hey all
Hope you all are doing well. Mr. Market owned me this week

I did take slight humour in all of the sudden articles from "experts" about how they _KNEW_ we were in for a turnaround... of course, these articles were published after the fact...
Today I was going over my trading log that I started since I began this investing/trading ordeal. All I can say is Wow. Its like talking to another person almost... it's pretty interesting watching my progress and my speculations... If you don't already keep a trading journal or log, it can be an invaluable way to record your thoughts to go over in the future.. I learned a lot about myself just going back over it. I'm glad I decided to keep one.
Also just finished Barton Biggs' Hedgehogging, a book comprised of many small stories about running money. Great read.
Anyway, thought I'd let you guys know the date for the next Seattle Area Traders get together.

Same spot as last time - Vivace's in Alley 24

Cheers
