Del, I didn't buy VONE because it looked quite speculative. It had almost no analyst coverage, and I thought that it might well be a pump and dump play.

Unfortunately for me, I work all day. So I cannot sit at my computer and look at real time quotes and make split second decisions. I have to buy stuff that has excellent fundamentals, in case the market turns and I have to hold it longer than expected. APLX has lots of analyst coverage, very good alliances re Linux, and there is speculation that Red Hat may buy them. So I bought that instead.

Please don't think because I sold Ariel at the top, that I am an extremely skillful trader. Perhaps the first clue that I am not is that I already owned this dog of a stock, for three and a half years! I didn't buy it two weeks ago at 2 or anything; I watched it sink there over a very long time from 15. I consider my opportunity to sell it and make money as the result a wonderful winter solstice gift from the goddess, in fact.

Speaking of trading, on Yahoo the other day I stumbled across spam for a trading site that I wanted to check out. I bookmarked it but then my computer went haywire and I got booted out and lost it, and I can't find it again. Is this familiar to anyone? What I remember is that it provides recommendations and the underlying analyst research, that it shows a list of the picks from previous months and the percentage results of the trades, and that it costs $29.00 a month and you pay for only one month at a time.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I would love to know their website.
