Welcome back, Tom. Isn't that ISP trouble just one big pain in the neck. I was down for a little over a week, and my wife was going ballistic because she couldn't monitor her eBay auctions. (I tried to explain the whole ISP server "thing" to her, but she still INSISTED that it was all my fault! Good thing I read the "Men are from Mars..." book).
Anyway, I'm kinda in the twilight zone here with some of my AIM accounts. GUMM spiked to $33 and I did a VEALIE, thinking that the price would just continue going up. Needless to say, it immediately sank about 10 points, so I wasn't able to reap any rewards from this move. In retrospect, perhaps I should have put a stop loss order under the spike price to protect myself from what indeed happened.
Also, NTRX just keeps going up, and I'm tempted to do a VEALIE on this one as well. I'd hate to sit back with fewer shares and watch the price continue to rise. But then again, look how I screwed up GUMM!

Looking forward to Vegas, and we made our reservations on Friday. Will be staying at MGM Grand, just across the street from NY NY. My daughter will be coming with as she just loves Las Vegas!
