Speaking of the Tea parties:

Tracker todays gain: 0.06%. I don't know if anyone can top that.

The S fund went positive for the year and passed the F fund in profits. Who, besides Birch woulda thunk that in Feb?

Today changed to 98G, 1C and 1S effective Friday, the first of May.

An honest man gets sent to prison.

Wade Cook gets 88 months in prison.

I'm putting all my chips on the table today: C:4%, S:6%, and I:4% and it all takes place at high noon today.

I noticed two people went almost 100% G this morning. What do they no?

I hope you don't stay on the lily pad too long. This bull is an opportunity to really make some money but you have to stay in to win. When Coolhand throws in the towel and gets back in that would be a time to pull back for the short term.

I made a big jump from 3% in the market to 10% now effective Friday, June 5th. I am retired without a parachute. I'm really good at jumping in on down days. I'll keep an eye on Coolhand for a hint when to pull back. Thanks.

Hi Handballer

ref your post under "Ask Tom" about your DVD/CD drive

Maybe someone can explain how I can get my E-drive back (build-in CD/DVD drive back. Its actually still in place but my computer does not recognize it. I believe it disappeared downloading a 1/3 GB update to windows last week.

Ya gotta love MS, always telling you what bad things will happen if you don't install their updates. Never talk about the bad things that happen when you do!

I have had similar problems installing Vista SP1 and XP SP3.

Another possible solution is to see if your computer established a restore point before the update was installed. If you do that you will lose some files you saved since then.

Good luck, if you can back up your data somewhere other than the C drive, and please remember not to hold me responsible if something reeealy baaad happens.

Thanks PessOptimist. I went to the link and run the autofix. It didn't work but I sent email and hopefully I will get an answer next week. I have been saving my work to a thumb drive. If no answer I'll check the restore point. I appreciate your help.

Have you tried INSTALLING NEW HARDWARE in the Control Panel? Plug and Play may work if you unplug the drive, start Windows, shutdown, plug in the drive and reboot?
