The problem areas are points #3 and #13 … since I did not clarify in my first posting.
I am happy with the small gains I make from the other points, but #3 gives me twice the losses as gains, but it is so hard to stick to the plan.
Sirji there are only 13 points, you mentioned 15.
I scored 11 out of 13. The challenge is watching the mailing groups and CNBC and once in a while getting led by them into temptation.
Thanks For pointing out the mistake and have been rectified.
Rgds,
Bramesh
