Well that bitterness is a tough place to be, 'BASS. It's not like anyone can be Atlas and lift the Strat into the sky. I agree with you, Tim Huff got carried away and talked too soon about the test date being firm in April, so I'm sure you have a right to hold that against him. Still, stewing like that is not healthy, and I think that is what your fellow posters have been trying to point out to you.
It only shows, that we are all very attached to our money, and that when it shrinks it's no fun. Believe me, we all understand that. Except of course, the smart one's who made a bundle on trading in and out.
Trust you will somehow bring out the positive in yourself to support a forward thinking posture of success in the end...
