thanks for posting

 

[ilir.shkurti]

My pleasure, fgp. Going for all is great! For now, I choose to proverbially 'eat and **** like a mouse." Later on, as I am better capitalized, I will try how an elephant does those things.

 

[robster970]

Nice - went in pre-market today because I had other stuff going on. Got stopped out again.

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Rob, sorry to twist the knife, but if you had other stuff, you should not have traded.

 

[robster970]

You're right Ilir. I don't mind you twisting, I gave myself a stern talking to in the car.

Internet connection has gone bad and I have a short hanging at 70.50. Luckily I have the platform on my mobile device as well, so far none of the targets or stop has been hit.

 

[robster970]

Gap too big today for me.

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Yes, it was madness for me to get in that quick, in hindsight. In till stops get hit or else.
