So far yes....caught the dot com bubble and was fortunate enough to learn from an old-timer who was a bear through-out the entire episode of the "irrational exuberance" This led me to catch the down side as well. Looking back, as a daytrader 8 years ago...it would hurt you to even look at the fundamentals and techs....it was all momo and who the players were in the box...it was all about speed.

The sec and its rule changes (not so much the decimals but the montage) wrecked everything! [Frown]

Looking to start college in the fall, but I'm doing really well with trading so far I don't know If I will commit to college just yet. Afterall I got 10 years to use my GI bill [Smile] .

Greetings To All:

The Munchkin Man is a retired junior high school and middle school mathematics teacher.

The Munchkin Man retired on disability three years ago.

The Munchkin Man is currently a freelance proofreader and answer checker for new and upcoming editions of mathematics textbooks and workbooks from the elementary school level to the high school level.

The Munchkin Man checks for and corrects any and all mistakes he discovers in the answers of the teachers' editions.

The Munchkin Man also corrects the many grammatical and spelling errors he finds in these textbooks.

The Munchkin Man checks the accuracy of the "demonstration examples" given in each lesson section and chapter of these textbooks.

The Munchkin Man finds and corrects many mistakes in these sections as well.

The Munchkin Man also takes word problems that are poorly written and rewrites them from scratch.

The Munchkin Man rewrites them until they become masterpieces.

These rewrites are also submitted to the Munchkin Man's editorial supervisor.

The Munchkin Man goes through the same process for the many poorly written multiple-choice problems he encounters in the workbooks he checks.

The Munchkin Man rewrites them from scratch until they are masterpieces.

Then they are submitted to the Munchkin Man's editorial supervisor.

The Munchkin Man loves this kind of work.

This is how the Munchkin Man serves his country.

The Munchkin Man regards every single mathematical error, grammatical error, and spelling error, in any of the textbooks or workbooks he checks, as a "terrorist."

It is the Munchkin Man's mission to hunt down and kill all the "terrorists" which have infiltrated and invaded the textbooks and workbooks he checks.

These mathematical, grammatical, and spelling errors can truly indeed, be labeled as "terrorists."

These "terrorists" are seeking to undermine and destroy the literacy of America's precious school children.

The Munchkin Man regards himself as a guardian and a protector of the literacy of America's precious school children against the illiteracy the "terrorists" are trying to spread.

The Munchkin Man does not allow the "terrorists" to spread their illiteracy.

Not on the Munchkin Man's constant watch and vigilance.

Parents can sleep better at night, knowing that the Munchkin Man is working hard around the clock, to root out and destroy all the "terrorists" that are trying to invade their childrens' mathematics textbooks.

The child who is assigned a mathematics textbook, which was once invaded by the "terrorists" the Munchkin Man has since destroyed, is truly blessed, indeed.

The Munchkin Man also does some private math tutoring on the side.

Lately, the Munchkin Man has expanded his tutoring services to include consultations for parents who wish to home school their children with the best mathematics textbooks available.

These are the things the Munchkin Man does for a living.

Life has never been better for the Munchkin Man.

The literacy of your precious school children is now back in good hands.

Good luck to all.

Best Wishes,

Munchkin Man

Spying on your co-working to see when she leaves her desk to steal some of here candy doesn't qualify as working. My guess is you put in a strong 25 minutes of work.lol

Upside seems to have bigger goals, he's not looking for a religion to follow, he wants to lead.
