Jim:
My first reaction was to laugh in sympathy at the image you presented
(since you're here today to write about it, I figure there was no
lasting damage).
My second was to think "Okay, so which of my seemingly well-thought out
and (supposedly) carefully executed modifications is going to bite me
when I least expect it?"
Since I'm a bit far away from the "stock is best" point on the chart,
it's a sobering thought. I think I'll do another review of my
modifications--it might prevent a nasty surprise.
Thank you for your story!
Best Regards
David Sosna
