Thanx Morgan...you always educate... Yes I agree--w/ something like CMGI w/ such high volatility, in retrospect taking my initial investment off the table when it hit 300 would have been smart. I'm learning as I go along... I guess we're talking internuts and IPO's (which is internuts!) I also had a bit of SEPR in KEOGH and that mysteriously went all the ay up to 130's--and I could've sold w/ no tax penalty and then rebought, as clearly it had to correct (and now is in 60's!!!). I might not have figured it would go THAT low, but I could have gotten more shares and lowered cost basis. This is all in retrospect, and understanding that I'll apply to the future. I'm a bit more confused about socks like EMC and QCOM. For instance, theoretically I could've done the same w/ EMC (also in KEOGH) when it had a runup. But I thought it would continue running and holding strong as it's a solid company. And the same with QCOM, which is still doing great for me...I'm just holding...seems to have a great future. Can't tell if that's a good short-term decision or not. "You have to know when to hold em and know when to fold em"
