I bought this stock at its IPO in 1995 and have been accumulating it (in modest increments) ever since. I have never sold a single share (I was too scared to). When I first saw this company I had a feeling they were onto something big, but it was really the wonderful contributors on this thread that confirmed it for me.

Like a lot of you, I suppose, I stand to make a whole lot of money in this stock. More than I can hardly believe. I have already more than quadrupled my average cost. In about six months time! I am really overwhelmed and yet it looks like there could still be alot more to come...

I'm not used to this, folks. I'm just a "hobby" investor who has done fairly well over the years, but I've never had a stock perform like this before. It's fun but at the same time it's a little scary, because this stock now makes up about 70% of my portfolio...and it may be 80 or 90% pretty quick. I'm sure most professionals would tell me that's not real smart.

Oh well, I guess I'm rambling, (I don't know how to act being rich) but I too want to state my appreciation for all the thoughtful analysis and hard work that the regular posters have contributed over the last couple years. Meeting a bunch of you in Florida last year was a fabulous experience. I may not have hung in so long if not for y'all.

By the way, I would like to publicly state, so that I can be held accountable by others here, that when I do decide to sell (which is still probably at least $140 away), I intend to give at least 10% of my profits to my church and/or other worthy causes. I hope that doesn't sound too self-righteous...I just am truly thankful for being blessed like this. And I almost feel guilty (G)...this has been too easy the last couple months.
