Sig, you are much more witty than I will ever be. I tend to get carried away with a bit of an edge at times <ggg>. No argument on Mikey continuing to take market share, and also making it thru any type of downturn short of the big one. I guess it really boils down to what Mr. Market will be willing to pay for a company that will most likely become the Honda/Toyota/Nissan of the PC biz all rolled into one. It WAS quite a ride as you say, and I DID miss a decent bit of it because I was just astounded at how people were bidding issues up. Being a student of the market I stayed away based on study of past such activity. On the other hand, that meant I also missed the bust, so until the market tells me otherwise, I'll continue to scalp on a daily basis. The result is a consistent profit stream no matter what the market does, although it would be much easier to buy and hold IF the market was in any mood to cooperate <ggg>. One would think based on past history, that the time for things to get better is getting pretty close. However, when I think that way, there is always a monkey wrench around, in the form of times like the tech bust of 1983, where it took quite a few years for recovery, and of course the 1970's, which was similar. Keeps us all guessing...
Best regards,
