For the first time in almost four years...

... I am seeing a positive gain in the stock market. Yes, the market has only been open for 23 minutes today, but my stocks are soaring.

Yesterday at the close of the bell I was down $200.00. Today, I'm up $250.00.

I have never seen a positive number in the stock market since the day I got into it (which was immediately before the stock crash of April 2000).

I'm finally making money!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy the moment.

Don't spend all $50 at once.

LOL right now it is down again by about $75. I don't care... I saw light outside of the tunnel, if only briefly.

Think of it this way, Jeff--you bought all your stocks on sale. They have to go back to regular price sometime.

LOL. No, that's not how I'd look at it.

I bought them at an inflated price, not on sale (with the exception of Symantec -- I bought that stock when nobody else thought much of it, now it is one that catches everyone's attention).

And, I wound up losing ground today after the market close. Like I said earlier, I saw light outside of the tunnel, not just light at the end of the tunnel.

It'll gain ground. I can't wait to see a day where I close in the black instead of the red.

So do you want us to moderate you out of the limelight? I don't think we have a "tunnel light" forum.
