Welcome back. I note that we were down 2% in a down market with CSCO down 3%. I'd say we're relatively golden at this level. -JCJ

Good Luck to you, KG4. I had a similar experience with a broker a couple of years ago. The stock happened to be MSFT (yes I'm long and strong SUNW, but I believe there is $$$to be made in both stocks.). I got her call and recommendation to sell, did so against every feeling/instinct I had, missed a %200 run up, and on and on. I "fired" her and got my present broker who recommended I sell my SUNW shares at $85 (that's a double ago). I gleefully refused and sit here holding this delightful bunch of SUNW stock getting ready to double yet again. I don't really know how I got into all of this. I just wish you the very best with your investment in this nice stock. Later. Sueponine.

Dear KG4: Your post brings back PAINFUL memories. My broker has cost me more lost profits than anyone could ever imagin. I wanted to buy MSFT about 4 years ago, he said wait. (I am still waiting-haha), I DID buy DELL back when they FIRST switched to the new distribution system (got it very cheap as everyone sold thinking it would be a disaster). Anyhow, it doubled and my broker said TAKE YOUR PROFITS I did and lost out on at least a 10 bagger, the list goes on and on. NOW, I do my own research with the help of many fine people on SI and I NEVER listen to my broker other than as a Contrarian--AND I TOLD HIM SO. I should have an on line account but they do server a purpose of organizing my statements etc. Personally, I dont think there is a broker anywhere worth their commissions anymore. JDN
