Wow, that's a good one to keep around... I have learned a ton since playing around in the market starting around September 2005... put 75K in, watched it drop to 22K... and nearly had a stroke. In the last few weeks/months, I have been making better calls... and buying low... and have been able to pay off my TL, pay of my 401K loans... and have a little left over after taxes to enjoy a few $100 dinners are my favorite spot. PATIENCE IS KEY... AND TIMING IS EVERYTHING! I sold CNES far too early... and it punished me hard... I will try to never let that happen again! As for BKMP... I am long term believer, even have my mom put in $5K of her retirement funds!
