Joana, YING & YANG has ALWAYS worked for me ;) #51 & #15 is ying/yang if I ever saw it. Are we starting to have any fun yet? "U becha" alright! And we've barely started! Up 19.73% today (according to my favorite comedy channel, CNBC) on a "slow" day (IPO-wise)! But, as I keep saying to all who'll listen, WE AIN'T SEEN NUTTIN YET! And yeah, I'm now a "FortyNiner(GNET)/Niner(CHTR)." Looks like a "gold rush is a-commin" to me! I woke up VERY early this am (with all the juices flowing). Couldn't get onto SI, so said to myself, "What the heck, might as well pick up a few shares of that Charter company that some guy named Allen is willing to sell to me." Got it "on the street" for 20 1/4, and felt pretty darn lucky about that. And, as it's in one of my retirement accounts, I can play it "like a fine instrument" from day one, if I feel like it. I now own yet ANOTHER little-bitty piece of his "wired world." Today was my "virgin" IPO experience. It was not bad at all, but I know it will get much better with time. Didn't have a chance to get in on GNET's IPO of $2/share (post splits), and missed MSFT's IPO by a few days (also opened at about 20/share about 13 years ago). Perhaps someday we'll all be able to tell our great-great grandchildren (who will most likely inherit most it all anyway) that we bought CHTR on the IPO day in the low 20's (pre-zillions & zillions of splits), with "a little help from our friends" on Silicon Investor. And heck, when they inherit our CHTR and GNET stocks, most likely Paul (I used to live just down the street from him) will still be working on his "wired/wireless" world. . .as he's such a young chap. Roger #FortyNinerNiner PS. I still don't know how you do it. You're everywhere! PPS. Say Hi to your Techride pals for me. I "lurk" over there every once in a while, but really don't have ANY more time to join another "thread (tread, terad)" at the moment.
