I'm happy that you have found the motivation to not give up and keep moving ahead.Your situation reminds me of a story of two traders who went to a trader's market together.

If Bush would have had the same plan and people spoke out against it they have been labled, un-american,communist, traders, oh yeah and against the troops.

My husband is one of the original SOES bandit trader and he shorting BP, cnbc said BP going gonna have to BK chapter 11 reorganization. easy money,shorting the stocks.

However, he's an ex banker, a good trader from what I've seen and his advice has been spot on for a while.

He was always in his office door closed, sometimes for days, and he'd randomly come out to fire a trader, and talk about some lofty goal of merging with a bigger fund and fire the rest of us - in other words he was looking for more ways to cash out.

The big "reaction" will come in the last 15 minutes of the trading day.Right now, one of the biggest concerns among traders is the drop won't be big enough to force the house to revisit this on Wednesday.If the market closes less than 600 or so points DOWN the fear is people will look around and say, "Hey, maybe this thing isn't needed after all."

I'm a technical trader.

Whereas the market was bloody the highest traders within the world (who do take clients) were raking in up to three hundredth returns in a very year.

Sometimes I feel kind of lonely surrounded by investor friends who would gladly trade RE for whatever else they might be able to profit on.

Active trader, won some, lost some.
