I told her I was up over 8% on the year in spite of a consolidating market for several months. She seemed rather impressed by that. Of course, I didn't tell her about the market gains in the past month (nor did I mention your returns, since she'd wonder why I was mentioning someone else with the same name, and she'd probably think it was another personality of mine - which you very well could be... there could be a rip in the space-time continuum, and an older version of myself could be on this board investing and thinking like I do - in the future :shock

. What she doesn't know can't hurt her. :^
Think I can close the deal if I bring up support levels and resistance lines? She mentioned being talented at something, but if I say what that is, this thread would go from PG-13 (the bikini turkey) to R in a hurry (think Clinton presidency).
I'm torn between moving my money back in tomorrow or waiting out the first half of December. Aside from the one-day drop we had due to Greenspan, we haven't seen a pullback yet. Yet I'm not sure if I want to try to time that (although part of me desperately wants to - just so I can point and laugh at Tom and say "Where's your sense of preservation, man?" in a hippie voice). Decisions, decisions.
