I heard the problem with Stenz is that he was so embarassed after he bailed on WITS that he didn't want anyone to recognize him. So he turned in his Spiderman outfit...Not really sure if that's true...but that's the word on the Street...lol ;)

IIC,

I am wanted by the FBI . . . you won't mind if I beg off your request for information, will you?

Not really! Hey, how do you post a picture? I need to get a picture of a newborn baby on my posts to move up into the world. A senior member is one who has 100 posts or more, and I've got 95 now, so I need the technology to get a pic on my posts so I can join the elite.

Baby,

Under 'User CP' select 'Edit Avatar.' From there you can pick one of the preselected pictures- might I suggest the Linux Penguin, or the barking dog, until you find your favorite picture elsewhere. You can also select a pic you have on your computer by choosing the 'custom' avatar, and clicking 'browse' at the bottom of the avatar page to upload the picture to this HUGE site.

IIC, you are confused in so many ways, it's hard to know where to start. lol! That is a daredevil outfit, not spiderman. The signature line "trading without fear" is a knockoff of the daredevil comic subtitle "the man without fear".

As far as WITS is concerned, the price still has not returned to where I sold. We'll see who is embarassed eventually.

I have finally gotten around to uploading a new avatar, thanks for the nudge.

regards ... stenz

Sometimes I'm an idiot.

Yesterday, I bought CAI at 59.61. Today I thought I was putting in a stop loss at 51.60, but accidently made it a limit order and sold at 62.26. I held it for only a day and a half. Now I know thats an annualized gain of 3,949,711%, but now I have to buy it back and pay double commission.

Quite! You probably even ignored a warning message that your limit order was under the bid! But you'll get over it. I usually take no more than a day to get over mishaps like that. Like buying the same order twice.

Doesn't annual return = return during period held ^ Periods in a year?
ann ret = (62.26/59.61)^(365/1.5) = 39497.11 or 3,949,711%

Ok... I don't know who's avatar I stole, but I'll use it until the real owner claims it.

I also have a new profile pic. It may not be me, but I did take the photo, while I was in China. I have no clue who he is, but I hope he doesn't mind me taking his identity.

There you go Jeinsen. I'm with the program!

Oh...I was figuring that there were only 250 trading days in a year...so I came up with a mere 143,684%

Scifos,
I'm so confused, either you are now a millionnaire , or you are bankrupt . Reminds me of what my ex accountant once told me.

CAI @ 60.62 ..... maybe the stock gods were looking out for me after all. :)

Billyjoe: I'm not a millionare yet, but with MrMarket's help I'm on my way!

Also: anyone have opinions on UTIW or HRS? They are looking good. Wish I had some spare change, I'd pick some up.
