Paul, << If you want to time the market, best luck to you. I'd rather invest in a company that I perceive to be a MSFT or a QCOM in the making >> I'm with you. I feel I've done sufficient DD not to wait, so I'm happy to be in. Actually I've ridden the DD of you and others. - Eric -

>>If you want to time the market, best luck to you. I'd rather invest in a company that I perceive to be a MSFT or a QCOM in the making. To each his own...<< Really Paul? So if I wait a few weeks, I'm screwed? Is that what your saying? If it's a MSFT or a QCOM "in the making" will it really matter? I think you forget that I am just in GMST as of last month, and my cost basis was about $73. But I put a fairly substantial amount into the stock. I see no reason to have that money possibly sitting "idle" for months. Of course your scenario may be correct and if so I can always re-purchase once the upward trend is re-established. It's called preserving capital. bp
