Yes, I have staved off the bleeding stump of my left arms stock picking, but have not been able to recoup the losses it so heavily poured onto my desk and other surroundings. Soon all will be good again for I have stumbled upon a couple of diamonds in the rough(or so the financials and trends say). Looking to make a big up the ladder a few days ago only resulted in regaining a very small bit of ground but that was so much better than the negs I had been posting. Still very much in the negative value (rank 9700 or so) with the portfolio value around 55K. Yet I have another excuse and this one is another due not to operator error, but to system destruction. My CPU fried, literally. So I had to go and upgrade to a core duo. Still trying to get the bugs ironed out, but was able to get into safe mode with networking support so here I am. Hopefully I'll wrap it up this eve. and be ready for the big game tommorrow. Until then, good luck to you and me too with this new overpriced headache I am attached to.
