Easy come, easy go?? You are disillustional! I am going to top this contest with ease! Mark my words! River
"Disillustional"? lol ... Even without the t that is not a word. If you mean I'm disillusioned (i.e. "freed from illusion") then I guess that's okay. If you mean I'm delusional, then allow me to point out: in the one-day context of going from 1st to 16th place, there is not much about it that is delusional. Having said that, I realize I'm pulling up the rear as of yesterday, and I'm not delusional about that either. I see it as just another example of the market's irrationality and fickleness.

Hey, even us, excuse me, "we" women have a Freudian slip every once in a while. LOL. And I was trying to say disillusional, as in "You are disillusional" which implies an ongoing process and is an "active" form of the adverb as opposed to the passive form you would like to use as in "You are disillusioned." Just pulled out my Roget's Thesaurus. "Disillusion," (v) disabuse, open the eyes of, disenchant, as in "I must disabuse you, Mr. Watson, of that ridiculous theory of yours." "Delusion" (n) fallacy, misbelief, misconception, falseness, unreality.
The difference is subtle here. But disillusional is what I meant, not delusional or disillusioned. (Disillustional works too, depending on the lateness of the hour and my frame of mind because who is thinking in proper words at that point anyway. LOL).
Guess I have to admit to you that you are dealing with a real live writer here, Mr. Grammarian, so be on guard. It could be that the problem is that I still tend to speak the King's (Queen's) English, as in "You can take the girl out of Canada but you can't take Canada out of the girl". (See that pesky "period" at the end of that sentence? I still have trouble getting it in the totally illogical "American" position inside the quotation mark, instead of totally logical "English/European" place where it is, currently.)
Yesterday was a fuzzy 2 up for DXPE and I shorted it in real life. Watch for the impulsive 3 down beginning today. And tomorrow, well who knows what the market gods have in store! Riverbabe
