McDermott International Inc. (MCDIF)

Coulda, shoulda, woulda...all nice but this is why I keep harping on the importance of coming to terms with ourselves in a personal way so that our restrained side doesn't gain too much leverage over our financial management policies. I fight myself almost daily because of my ongoing battle with prudence. Pru is a pretty lady, alright, but the other lady in my life is more important to me. And she's the one insisting that I trust my instincts and take chances, knowing full well I'll not be happy, should I hold back so much that I miss out on being me and getting to enjoy whatever fruits there may be in store if I'm set free.

While you were away I added some to my MDR. Now holding 9,000 with a cost basis of $4.68. So you're in far better shape than am I yet I see more than enough opportunity out there for us both. It comes out to a 7.3% gain so far which I find not bad although it pales in comparison to some other picks.
