The Largest Loss Yet – I Wish I Was A Computer Nerd

November 1, 2009

Since I posted my virtual trade book I made 4 trade for a total profit of over $18,000. Today, I suffered a disaster that I won’t be able to over come. Those trades are gone.

During system changes I improperly restored the wrong version of my spreadsheet and wiped out everything I’ve done since 9/21/09.

So in keeping with the principles of integrity I must use the latest available records of my trades which is the one posted in my virtual trade book to continue. All posts pertaining to any October trades will be eliminated.

This wasn’t a trading error. If I was using an on-line virtual trading platform this wouldn’t have happened. I won’t change to an on-line service because of the legalities encountered when I first checked into using them for my blog.

So, Happy November everyone!

I’m kind of a foodie in my own right.  Not only do I like eating food but I also love to cook.  What I don’t like is the fact that almost everyone spends too much for their food.  I’m so adamant about this that I authored a book called “Buckets Of Food For Pennies”. 

Beth  of Budget Bytes strikes at the heart of this matter in her blog.  She not only lists recipes but their costs.  Then she breaks those down by cost per serving. 

If you are as concerned or curious about how much you pay for your food as I am you should check out this fledgling blog.  Smart idea, Beth.
