BTW, this is a great thread 
on dealing with high pressure situations, there was a quote from a baseball pitcher in the early 80's, I can't remember who, but I'll look it up....
(not exact quotes, but close)
a reporter asking the pitcher of a great world series performance how he was able to be so cool and calm in the face of such pressure. He replied that he thinks about the black ice theory (I think that's what it's called, I'll check for sure) in which scientists say about 5 billion years from now the sun will die and the Earth will be a black chunk of ice. When that happens, who's gonna give a damn about my pitching then?
Cheers

The hardest part of playing the stock market is the daily dose of regret. We regret not only the stupid trades we have made, but also the good ones we wish we had made.
