CONGRATS! joe.

[bankedout]

Good racing joe!

I have lost interest in financial markets. It has been fun racing with you over the years, but my racing days are behind me now. I don't necessarily have any words of wisdom, except that you should heed the words of wisdom, from those who spent a lot of time involved in financial markets.

Thank you for all of the wonderful memories, and thank you dg for everything you have done for the group!

[Spiderman]

Congrats Joe.
I'll ride BOOT long this week.

We'll miss you Bankedout !!

ERX long this week. Congrats to Joe for recognizing a pretty good strategy is to watch my play and then go the other way with it.

Sorry to see you go bankedout. I'll miss your wise insights and commentary. It's remarkable the core of regular participants on this site has remained stable for years. Many thanks to dg for all the work you've done to keep things going. -ira

Congratulations JOE!
I'd like to take a short position on CURE- I actually took the Nag out behind the barn but couldn't pull the trigger....

JIM_
You will be sorely missed- I for one thank you from the early Clear Station days- and the past years here. always you provided sound judgement and ethical behavior.
It was good meeting you in person this past year as you started your Journey- I hope you find that which you Seek- Best Regards- Kevin

[blygh]

Nice going Joe - I will take the other side of ira's trade but I will do it with DTO long. It is an old market saw that when you hear yourself saying "It can't go any higher" buy. When you hear yourself saying "It can't go any lower." -short it
Sorry to see you opting out bankedout - I share your frustration - with 55 trading days with a 1% or more swing this year It is difficult to make rational market decisions
