From TWINX....
"Hmmmmm....wonder if my husband is related to yours, Nancy.......

Last week he wanted to go to school to get his real estate license. This week he wants to look in to real estate development.

Good grief!"

Well Twin and Hetty and Helmut,

Just had my discussion with sweet darling husband about pulling out of the market (which Helmut, WERE his sound fundamentals spoken of yesterday and the last two weeks) and he immediately denied ever speaking of such.

Took about 10 minutes and he finally admitted that yes, his insanity about the whole thing is tied up in humiliation and indecision of 2000-2003. And that it would really would be so much easier if he could totally give up the reins to me BUT......he can't. And yes, it's true, he wants OUT. And he'd blame me if we lost big and he's freaking out day and nite.

So Twin, maybe he should go into real estate development with your husband. Actually he's retiring from medicine in 2 mos. and wants to be a forest ranger. I could pack him Hetty's coffee in a thermos.

Nancy  

PS. Thanks for your beautiful post Helmut. Words for the ages. VALUX 2000-2003....whoa!
