WLorD: Sorry, I never intended for my statement to be an all-encompassing indictment. I am sure there are folks that post online trade records for all the right reasons. I have just seen to much evidence that putting to much emphasis on what we post online (not just trading records) can be detrimental. Let us all worry less about our online personas getting it right and more about our offline real world portfolios. I think we will all be better off.

I find my brokerage statements provide more than enough "at-a-boys" or "aahh-shits" for me...gg

Regards,
LG

"mr market has a way of helping people into self-delusion, keeping a public record is my way of keeping myself honest with...myself."

Excellent point, and I must say that I like the way you keep a public record much better than the way that most do. That is, you keep your record in one place but still discuss things with others. One of my main concerns with the recent mania about record-posting is that we will all become a bunch of solipsists -- and only da boyz would benefit from that, IMDO.

if you need help moving some stuff around, plugging things, etc, augie says he's free this afternoon.

ACK! No I'm not!

I have a major home improvement project that has to be finished by the time my parents return from the Axis of Weasel on Thursday, (it's their Mother's & Father's day gift), plus I'm babysitting my 87 year old great aunt and my 97 year old great uncle through the sale of his house, (we close by the 29th and I still have to get rid of all his furniture), plus I've got to take augieboo to the vet for an allergy shot. (Poor little dude starts itching himself half to death about this time every year.)

Next week should be better though, if LG needs some help with cables and such. I don't know beans about how or why microchips work but I'm pretty good at fixing computers that have stopped cooperating with their humans -- I have to be, since my computers have rarely cooperated with me for more than a few days at a time. {ng}
