SI beta - one feature that I proposed to SI one or 2 years back finally got implemented. Now you can read 10 posts at a time. This alone is probably enough reason to use the new server. It really speeds up reading . COMS - This no growth growth company is currently on the top of my sell list. I have a substantial paper loss that I canït even use as a tax write off because in germany capital gains and losses only count if they are realized in the first 12 months after purchase. Afterwards my capital gains are tax free but this also means that I canït deduct my losses. The poor performance of the company is somewhat offset by the comparatively low valuation but I really wonder if the analyst predictions of 5 year 20% earnings growth have any basis in reality. I want to reduce my margin usage and have figured out that the next few weeks will probably be a good time to do that. The tough part is to find stocks that I am ready to abandon. Andreas
