"...I don't think anybody on this thread would put anothers $$$ in Gemstar..." Gotta take issue with that. I can and did; and hope to again when she ponies up more lucre. She likes my 500% return this year and said "do with mine like you'd do with yours". Fine; this is the drill: I first paid $70 for QCOM, and was almost immediately underwater (like I am now with GMST) I kept buying Q down to $18., (split-adjusted)learning more and more about the company, and purchasing all the way down for over a year. Of course it WAS a hellish year. It's not easy but it does seem to work. If you're right about the company, it'll work. If I find something bad I'll stop and sell. I followed GBLX down to $20. Look at it now. Wall Street is 95% noise; try not to listen.

Unless I have a chance to log on tomorrow, it will be a couple weeks before I can join all of you. I'm taking a vacation sans computer. I hope to be back before post #10,000, but the way you folks are going that's not a slam dunk. Take care, all. :) --Mike Buckley
