    Hey Doug, Just thought I would comment on this. I agree that one needs to be a little bit flexible - do what works for you, which may be more than one kind of style depending on what the market is doing. I decided to give something that looks more like daytrading a try a few months ago in one account, and that account is up about 80% since Oct 5 (of this year). 13 trades in about 9 weeks, most were a day or two, one position lasted almost 3 of those weeks. One position at a time, with one exception where I saw an opportunity and took a second position on margin and sold it later that day. I did a little quick math and this looks like an average of 1.22% per trading day. I've been using trailing stops to keep gains from evaporating, which sometimes throws me out of positions which go on to make more gains, but also has served it's purpose at least as many times. One of those recent positions for me was SDTH, which I see you bought and trimmed today. I bought SDTH on 11/30 and was stopped out of it on 12/6. Made over 5% in less than a week but missed out on the big gain today. I choose to focus on the fact that I made over 5% in a week, and do that with some amount of regularity. I revisit most of my exits, whether they went on to more gains or not, to inform my selection of stops in the future.

    Keep up the good work, bro'.

              Actually not bad and not that long either timewise. Pretty simple and expedient Doug. How do you get you annotations in there.

                              When you were interviewed, you should have said, "Well the person must be guilty or he/she wouldn't be here."

                              Hope your father's okay.
