Brian,

What makes you think I've missed out.
I made a lot more $ than you have as a matter of fact.

But the stock is now way overpriced from the momentum run up to the split.

:)

Thanks for the info...

It is NICE to see a real position , with such success.

I bought 100 shares in June 1997, on my Line of Credit, right after I got certified SUN CSE.

I did not have much money at the time, only about $ 20-24,000 total in all savings

I then watched it founder for almost a year, up to $ 50 or more, then back under $ 37 or 38 $...

I then bought 200 more shares at $ 39, thinking I would sell the next time it hit $ 50....

I did not sell, as I do mostly believe in LT B&H....

My $ 11,000 investment or so, which did nothing for over a year started rising....

It is now worth $ 68,500 or so, the best investment I have EVER made, and only the second when I dumped my "financial advisors" and "brokers"

Wow !

Now, I am seeing it again with my 2x 2002 QCOM LEAPS, an unbelievable accumulation of wealth...

Oh, and by the way, I bought 1, only 1 as I thought I already had too much sun, a 2001 Pre-split $ 100 LEAP
which is now 2x 2001 $ 50 exercise 2001 LEAP...

Is there anyone that can tell me how much this LEAP, 2x now
is worth ?

Anyway, this is great

take care
Jean
