So you lost 54k in one day in TSP? Sorry i could be miss reading this lol.

No. Losses gains in Birchtree 300. Tugboat=TSP. I think. I will let birch explain it.
PO

The Birchtree 300 is my outside margin account and so far ytd I'm ahead +$228K - got to do a lot more than that to stay sane. My tugboat (TSP) is just sailing along with my allocation of 20C and 80I - no plans to make any changes any time soon. I would like to have bjean in my rear view mirror though.

BT,
Have you seen this posting on SA??

That was a great article - I plan to keep adding to my various coal positions until they drop off the earth or until I do. I'm even thinking about putting money into WLT and CLD. And if I'm eventually wrong there is always the write off against other capital gains. I've got time to wait out the creep and the EPA. Thanx again for the read.

Another wall flower being bought out - WMB taking WPZ. Nothing I can do about it but accept the money.

Here I sit with one million, three hundred eighty three thousand, five hundred and eighty views and still can't get passed 3 stars - should I be paranoid? Ah, who really gives a skunks butt.

I read your thread with every new post. So, I just did my part to bump up your star power. Sorry for not rating it earlier.

Several notices of dividend increases and I'm participating - I can definitely smell what the bull is cookin. Now if I can just build more buying power to purchase more happiness. Mindylou keeps adding to my list - so it never ends. The more you own the more you make - be in to win.

I believe that the best time to be in the market is when there is blood in the streets. I didn't come up with that saying either, just copied it. I do believe that the present state of the S&P and the Dow sideways action is building a base for 2500 and 20000 year end, respectively.

I've been doing a little buying today: GG, MCP, GSM, ACCO, AGCO, OAS, EWJ. There are just so many wonderful wall flowers waiting to bloom.

Bought a couple thousand shares of two fallen angels: SD, KEG. We'll see if they are headed for bankruptcy or not. I'm betting that oil is going to be the surprise this year along with iron ore.
