Captain Time, Thanks for your insights and in many respects you are right. Yes I am somewhat bitter but not with my choice in picking a stock that had very little chance of doing anything (my fault alone) but the fact that I did the DD to pick a company with a lot of potential. What makes me and many many others a little bitter is the fact that the little guys are always left with the crumbs while the monied group takes all the rewards.They pick the fruit from the low hanging branches so to speak. Time, as you point out, "is yours and no one elses" and one should spend it doing what one wants to do. The kicker is to accomplish this (not extravagantly), takes the dollars that the monied people are now enjoying. Yes, I know ..... no one said life was easy or fair but it would be nice to be able to play on an level field. Yes, I am still voting NO! the deputy
