Geez, I'm in a class for a few days and the i-nuts go crazy. This isn't the first time we've seen this. One small bit of advice to offer to any of you who haven't gone through these wild swings before (up 30% day, followed by 4 days of -10%, it can happen). Make sure that you're comfortable with what you're holding and try not to have too much (if any) on margin. These wild downdrafts in stock prices can bring Mr. Margin to your door and steal your shares. Then, you see your shares at a higher price 2 weeks later. On a slightly off-topic subject, the class I'm in is studying techniques on improving the software development process. Well, one of our case studies on how NOT to run a project is on the building of Word for Windows 1.0. In September of 1984, Gates formed a team and told them they had 1 year to develop the best word processor out there. They slipped the schedule about a dozen times and didn't release a bug-ridden 1.0 version until November 1989. They kept revising the schedule and the new release date would be in 6-12 months. Nine months would go by and they'd do this again. Detect any similarities with TP... Good day all... -tk
