        What was so harsh about what I said.
        I thought that
        "
        I can't imagine us changing our entire system and agenda to make it easier for you or someone else like yourself who probably just became a member and just started posting here" and the part about "appeasement" was somewhat harsh. After reading your post again, I do have to apologize to you ski, I read your post in a negative light and thats on me, not you and the bulk of what you wrote. Most of it is helpful.

        I didn't call you a liar, don't act like I did. I took the tone of the message as being somewhat better than thou, but thats just how I took it. If I'm wrong I'm sorry.

        Thats not an assumption, thats an opinion.

        Yes, I do know some things about you. They aren't assumptions, they are opinions based on your actions I've observed.

        Ask yourself what you know about your neighbor. How do you know these things? From seeing/hearing/talking to your neighbor; in short, observing him. Same thing here.

        Yes, I do know what harsh is. Why would you think that I don't? Is that an assumption? Because if it is that would make you a hypocrite.

        What was Dalion's assumption? He simply asked why the POTW is run like it is, and not use an resource outside this website. Thats a reasonable question that deserved a reasonable answer, and instead of answering it you gave a response that, to me, appeared harsh.

          I took the liberty of apologizing to Dalion and to try and make him welcome here. I also don't want to get off on some negative tangent with you either. I'm sorry if my comments to him upset or offended you or him. You're right I am much harsher than most normal people. There are reasons for this I'm sure but I cannot put the blame on anyone except myself for what I say or how I act. I am trying to contain those actions. I guess I have to try harder and give more thought to what I am going to say at that moment.

              Very good. Your fees for services rendered have already been forwarded to your account in Monaco in the usual fashion. I am sure that I will still need your help and services with some of the intraday actions as they take place. I will inform you of these instances as they come up. We here at corporate are quite pleased with your performance and after having spoken with some of my peers here I am quite sure that your next assigned task will be accompanied with the 00 designation. As you know that is the highest ranking our organization bestows on any of our taskmasters. We want you to know that we are aware of your work and accompolishments and that it has been recognized. If you go to our usual drop you will find an envelope containing the address and key to a safe house on the Mediterranean coast. There you will find several HB's whose mission is to provide you with whatever you require during this layover between tasks. Please take full advantage of them as fulfilling your wishes is their mission. Investigate the boat house please. Knowing of your love of the sea I have taken the liberty of placing several motor and sail powered craft at your disposal. The Mediterranean is beautiful this time of the year. Be safe, well, and discrete as life is only as long as the time to your next mission. X

                    Ski,
                    You are a good man. I appreciate your willingness to apologize and try to get along with others on this forum. And to stand up and take the responsibility for being too harsh shows real humbleness and good character. Thanks for doing the right thing. God bless you!

                          Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I like this sector for 2007 and 2008. The highway and transportation infrastructure bill passed last year should give this and some other companies that I watch a nice boost in business over the next few years.

                            If you could help me out with the intraday time of sale prices it would be a big help. That is the only thing that I am going to need help with probable everyday as something with my broker has changed and I can't get the intraday time of sale prices anymore after the close and I can't gurarantee that I will be watching that closely everyday during the day to get all of the changes. Thanks.

                              I am not quite sure about dependability, but http://finance.yahoo.com has nice intraday charts with minute intervals, like this.

                                At first, I was logging into my Ameritrade account and finding the intraday prices in that manner, but once Yahoo Finance began offering the test version of their 1 day charts, I began to use that to find the prices. Nobody found any discrepencies, so I guess it was working OK.... but be careful of the daily opening prices from Yahoo- as Rob once pointed out, the prices may take a few days before they are settled.

                                as far as my trade prices today - exited UA at $46.96 and entered B short at $24.12

                                RL exited at $8.98

                                Riverbabe entered at $35
