lol yup, but when it's good it's good and when it's bad it's bad. That's what I like about it.

Tell ya a little story that happened to me 10 years ago when I used to sometimes play blackjack...

I was sitting at the Horshoe playing blackjack and a fairly young guy sits down next to me, maybe 25 years old. He reaches in his pocket and unrolls a pretty large stack of bills and lays $2,000 on the table. About five hands later he reaches in and pulls out another $2,000 and it's gone just as fast. I'm thinkin this guy has either gone off his rocker or has the biggest balls I have ever seen.

He pulls out last bit of cash and lays it on the table. I don't remember exactly what it was but it was something like $800~1,000. He sees me sorta glancing over at him and he says "My time is coming. Watch.".

And I kid you not, I watched that guy get up from the table about 15 minutes later with his original roll of cash plus about $2,000.

Now I don't gamble any more, but I've made every effort to distance myself from wins and losses while trading 4X because it clouds perspective.

So here's to the Beast. Our time's coming.
