Young: The "story" of IOMG is still positive. My Dad and I have
learned some tough lessons trying to short-term trade. It is very
wearing and too emotional to put your money into a stock and
expect immediate results whatever way you are playing it, long
or short.

I remember Peter Lynch saying to check the story every now and
then. If its the same or better then stay with your pick. The
story of IOMG keeps getting better to me.

My Dad would be a multi-millionaire if he had just held onto two
stocks he bought before the gulf war started. Things looked
shaky, short-term he sold, took the tax write-off like I hear some
loosers on this thread talking and missed two of the biggest
investments of his life.

Also have a few glad/sad stories of selling stocks with very nice
gains only to have the stock exceed our wildest positive imaginations.
We lost our patience and started thinking short-term again and
missed the bigger upside move.

We look for companies who are leading their sector with very good
management. Winners find a way to win. The managment of IOMG
is proving their strategy very nicely, through a testy period. We have
sensed a stronger company and team at IOMG not a weaker less
focused team.

Have to agree with your posts and reasoning. KP has made a
bundle of money and good for him, his timing was right. I hope
he doesn't get burned out with his approach though. It a tiring
way to play the market.

Your timing to buy could have been a little better though. I'm sure
you hear it enough from your wife so I won't belabor the point.

Having said that, I hope you hold on and IOMG makes you and your family a bundle of money because IMO, IOMG has the makings to
do just that.

Regards,

JP Cross
