I would say, I have always been good and handling money... As I stated I
started following the market at age 12.   1966 and have never stopped.  As
for the trading technique.  I learned years ago, I was much better at
picking a stock on the short term rather than long-term...  Warren Buffet
(sorry!)  I presently have long-term investments, which I have had a LONG
time and are not really doing so well..  Many times over the years, I would
buy a stock and within a week or two it would rise maybe 10-20 percent and I
would rarely sell, and then it would tank and take sometimes years to
recover...  A recent B*LL Buster is Silicon Graphics. I bought it 18 months
ago, at 22 and within 10 days it was $30.00  well now it is 16???  SO, I
trade short term...and I am VERY successful...  Generally when you do
something for a long time you get good at it..

That simple.

Don
