Doug, At least you didn't pull a John Stewart and buy a new car with MTSN "paper" profits. That proved to be fatal. In fact, it was the sole cause of the Asian economic crisis which resulted in all the chip equipment stocks going into the tank. If John hadn't bought that car, Thailand would never have devalued the baht. I hope taking real profits in MTSN to buy a car, as you have done, does not have the same devastating consequences. Phil

PS. Do you think I'm superstitious??

Doug,

Good work in selling the lowest cost basis shares. And to think you did it just before the the new year so you get to pay taxes sooner rather than later. I'll have to review that strategy.
