JoeOffer ...your bro had the knowledge and insight to pull off long term growth and earnings ... i DO NOT possess these gifts ... yeah my endeavors are like play with serious side effects ... instead of long term my trades are day by day, hour by hour and at times split second decisions ... me thinks i have a fair amount of success in that i limit my total $$$ outlay and i am not afraid to make decisions on the fly ...Happy NEW Year to us all.
