Thanks Lionel, but I didn't mind.  Actually, as you know, even I question
some of our returns as well as some of our losses. :)

Posts like this make me sit down and think about where we're going and look
to the list for other thoughts and ideas.  It also helps me ignore the
little guy who is home from school this week, sick.  These posts help me
tune him out.  Right now, he's playing with the dogs.  It also forces me to
review some of our techniques and by answering Mark, I realized I wasn't
maintaining the profitability of a couple of our rule sets.

Our current futures positions, as I posted them when we made the trades,
are:  short the March S&P futures @ 1417.  It varies a little +/- .50 based
on fills.  We rode out the drawdowns and now are enjoying the profits.

Thanks

Guy

This should have been sent as a private e-mail to Guy.
Guy is kind enough to share some of his trading ideas with us. If you want
to challenge him, please do so privately.
