Geeze, here's one more new poster!!!! :sheep:

I'm a novice and, as such, will be "read only" in the beginning. The newborn questions that may eventually follow will seem elementary to the old timers, but we all have to start somewhere, right? . Would you please standby while I look for my milk bottle? If I can't find my milk bottle, then I'm going to get angry!!! I might to cry and whine!!! :eek:

This is ground zero. :thrasher:

I'm going to go very slow and very conservative for at least the first year. The goal is to gain a rudimentary understanding, such as understanding stops, trailing stops and trying to figure out when to buy and at what price to buy at.

Even though I'm a complete newbe with no knowledge about this stuff, I've been bitten by some sort of a bug -- and it's exhilarating. :star:
