I've been gone for a few days so I have some catching up to do. Great reading so far.
1) Off topic - As far a requests for DVD threads, check out CUBE and SNIC. Cube is always good for a few laughs, but it is a big player in the encoder/decoder market. SNIC makes equipment for studios to write to DVD.
2) On topic - If you are in at 30 and it goes to 60 by 2000, thats still 100%, which is pretty good for 3 years. If it goes to 100 even better. So even is Zeevs 100 by 2000 doesn't come to pass, I have to believe it won't be lanquishing in the 15's either, so its probably a pretty good buy down here. I am still under the notion that it will bounce a little on earnings report unless they are a complete disaster, like a loss of 4 dollars or something similar. Not much of a bounce, but a small one.
3) As far as buying and selling, the tried and true method of making money in stocks over the very long term, meaning 6 or 8 years, is the (gag) averaging method where you buy what you can over time. I have always had problems timing when to sell out. For instance, I had a boatload of Comp USA at 12 and sold out at 25 last year only to watch it go to, what,80?. Even now in its current price it is still the equivelent of 40 after it split last year. So sometimes taking profits is a mistake, and unless you are really tuned in like Zeev knowing when to sell can be difficult. |
