Laying low… to avoid lay-offs

Folks, I haven’t been trading (from work) lately because rumors are flying everywhere that the senior management is planning for some work-force reduction… a fancy term of the big “L” word known as lay-offs!

In addition, the management is trying to find every possible way to get rid people!  Just the other day, someone from Marketing was ‘let-go’ because he was caught using bit-torrent software from his PERSONAL lap-top through the company’s network!

The last thing I want is to have someone caught me trading from work!  As my Readers well know, my trading is not good enough to be profitable, not to mention sustaining a living.

Everyone is guessing that the ‘pink slips’ will be handed down in the next week or so.  I will try to post some updates here whenever I could, when I’m NOT at work.

Best of luck to me!  :-|
