Jim: You are so right. **OT** I held a large position in an oil services company, based at the time in Midland TX, while I was living in Southern California in the eighties. I guess it made me feel like I was part of TEXAS...<g>

However, I held that one way to long. My investment just kept going down. But, I was very lucky, we (the stockholders) decided to move the company to Houston and sell off the assets. Believe it or not I got enough of a final dividend payment from the sell of the assets to break even on the investment, except for the commissions.

That taught me a very valuable lesson. And, I was fortunate enough not to have to pay dearly for it...<g>

Regards,
LG
