I've only lost once that way. That was with several hundred pounds of aluminum I held for three years. Prices didn't go up like I figured. Still didn't lose; just didn't make as much as I figured on.

    Never follow the crowd. And don't panic - think.
    Mick has it right! Never follow the crowd and THINK! Most of us are pretty strong willed people or we would not do what we do. We each have a talent, an opportunity to change with the shift, and the ability to go against the crowd. If we don't, we should be doing something 9-5. In my 56 years I have had ups, downs, much and little. We are here today and that is all that we have.

    Tomorrow, I will get up and take a load across the scale, we are doing a block yard sale, and then I am going to relax. Whatever happens next week will happen and on tuesday, I will get up and do the best I can no matter what the market, or trends, or crowds are doing. Stay focused! There is always a new opportunity...if we don't panic ... and think! Thanks for the words of wisdom, Mick!

    May we remember those that have gone before us and gave their lives, so that we can have the opportunities that we do have, in this country!!



    I pray that you all have a blessed holiday weekend with family and friends! BroJer
