re: ASDS figures it was a bear stearns IPO. anyway I sold QNTS for a loss today.. very weak close... got in at 56 3/8 and avg'd down to 54 something.. sold it all near the close at $50.. almost a 10% loss across the board on my portfolio since I put it all into that one stock... I know folks said to hold.. but why should I? by holding i can't buy anything else.. I risk a gap down tomorrow.. and I'm up for some IPOs tonight which I would NOT have a shot at if I hadn't freed up some cash... I'm sure QNTS will be great long term but I should have sold at $58 this morning when I first posted if anyone thought it time to sell.. I ignored my gut and it cost me.. hope everyone did well today... my 5 year wedding anniversary is saturday so I'm excited about that.. who cares about losing money when you've got the love of your family! have a great night all :) jim
