Hi Gary,



What with the drop in tech stocks last week my, including my best holdings,

I'm "assimilating" the whopping loss of 250 G's while meditating a response

to your interesting post.



Thank you for your thoughts.  You helped deflect a difficult week.



Will seek to respond to you more fully ASAP.

Hi all,

Stephen, I don't think it matters how you go about trying to make

money.  I think the more important question is are you happy doing it?

Are you happy doing it winor loose?



If the answer is yes to both questions, I don't think there's a

problem.  On the other hand, if you think you might be doing it out of

bordem or out of a compulcive need, then you might want to look at

it allittle more  seirouslee.
