    Now really, a -5.83% hit on OSGB is not a drubbing-I probably won't make any money on this stock for several years while I accumulate my position. I did however make some real big money in my margin account this week: -$2K, +$32K, +$24K, -$81K, +$28K for a miraculous gain of +$1K. Good thing my dividends are working hard. It would appear that some one is after my DEO sending it up 9 points today - lucky me I know.

    It would appear to me that we are due some serious upside fair valuation for the I fund, probably will show today.

    Hello

    I am just wondering when you mentioned above you lost 81k then made 32K is that from TSP ? Or other nvestments?

    Just wondering lol. I'd love to make that amount in a day lol but losing that amount would be so heartbreaking.

    Everything I report is from my margin account on a daily basis. Today I'm +$104K - just need to hang onto it into the close. Money flows in and money flows out.

    63%, passing, but mostly I think because of the glut of questions about Long Term Care, something I deal with daily. Plus a large luck factor.

    Hmm, 79% for me. I'm eligible to retire exactly one year from today, so I better start getting some of this stuff down.

    Birchtree - where are you? Everything all right? Your profile says you were last active 5 days ago. Disappearing is something I do, not you. I hope you are well.
