Hey BTK,

If you want to know where I watch the market, I just use msn and click on the stocks I want to see when I want to see them. Usually a couple of times a day. At lunch and at the close. I look at where the price is in relation to where it has been during the day. I also look to see if the close was higher than the low of the day. And I look at the page that shows the info to see if there is any news on my stocks. Computers sure make it easy to get an instant fix. But I think computers probably had a lot to do with getting us into this mess we are in. Too much. Too fast.

If you want to know what I read, well I read a few of the standard money magazines, but my two favorites are Business Week and Kiplinger Retirement Report. I used to subscribe to a couple of letters, but I am over that now. I keep it pretty simple. I do not obsess. I do not touch the stuff in mattress. But I do like the market. And I wonder at its psychology.
