>>Unfortunately I chickened out and bailed today for a modest profit.<<

I bought VERT near the bottom of Monday's drop and sold out Tuesday for only a 1-point gain. Too chicken to hold thru the CPI numbers. Shoulda bought back in ASAP Wednesday AM based on the positive CPI. Rats!

John:

VERT being seen as an Internet Blue Chip is news to me, especially since their revenue is so low (I think it is around $1,000,000 or under). I think their concept is what is driving the stock. That and the fact that they have online auctions for businesses. I think you would do well to buy in now and hold for several years. However, your way right now seems more profitable (holding for short term gains). Hope to see you back in soon.

Sam
