Thanks for the reply.  This is important.  The s&p has gone down in afterhours this evening.  The spx is only 35 pts. higher than last Friday's low.  I really think that it can go to 775 which is the low after the dot com bubble burst.  The two etfs that we want to buy are  sso and  rsu.  They both are 2X s&p500.  The rsu is a little cheaper which means a person can get more shares.  I already have 35 sso in my real account, I got them for 26.25.  This chance may not come around again for a while.  It may happen tomorrow so we have to be ready.  I have to go out of town to a funeral tomorrow but I will try to look at the market.

  Hello Goldie,  It's ten till two, Wednesday.  I just needed a shoulder to cry on since I know that you are one of the few who really understands.  My portfolio was doing fine until I shorted lcc and wb when they were real low.  I forgot to cover last friday afternoon and now the portfolio is trashed.  I just can't bear to cover them because I am so stubborn and it isn't real money.  I am expecting that we should retest the lows and I just can't admit defeat even though the numbers are speaking for me.  I learned that if I want to do strictly a daytrade, I could possibly use the 20 day ma. but for most trades, the 50 day ma is the bible.  I still have a little over 100k so I'm just crossing my fingers that the government doesn't do anything else to mess my game up!

WHY???? OH I KNOW  U  HAVE SOME REAL MONEY   U   WANT 2 SPEND RIGHT .. N  ORDER 2 MAKE SOME REAL MONEY, WELL I WISH THAT  U  WERE HERE 2, & I'LL SHOW  U  ALL THE (almost )GET U'RE MONEY BACK PLACES....HAVE A HAPPY DAY.......

Hello Goldiec,I am new to this you think maybe you could walk me through to get started.

Hi Nancy , everything is good but have been working a lot so I am getting a bit tired, I think I may have to sleep one of these nights. LOL

I will be glad when the campaign is over also. 

your garden sounds beautiful.  we have just moved to a rural property ourselves in hopes to grow some vegetables and berries!  its too late in the season i think to start most things even with the mild winters we have here in california, but there is a 10'x12' greenhouse that i just finished that we can surely put something in during the winter -- we just dont know what to put in there yet!  tomatoes and peppers?  ...right now all we have growing is some cilantro in the window box.

HI BABE ITS KINDA CHILLY HERE 2, I  C  THAT U'RE DOING REAL GOOD, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK....TYPE 2  U  LATER...MY TIME IS ALMOST UP.........GO GREEN..

Good morning Goldie, did the rise in the markets yesterday restore your faith in our economy.
Always think positive and things will always get brighter.
