Good grief, Bretsky. One post from unclewest and your off to the table to pick up some shares. Nothing against your manic panic buying spree, but that's not exactly what I was getting at in my earlier post. I'm a big believer in Siebel Systems, but wouldn't want to promise you anything like a 45,000% return. You may have to settle for a few hundred or a few thousand over the years if you sit on it and don't mess with it. No guarantees from me - though. Anything can happen. Based on your method of buying - I hope you have the fortitude to sit on what you buy rather than chase the sideways 'where's the next big move coming from routine'. Very few running backs can continually score going around the end - although a few have done it well when the play has been designed around them. Put your head down and up the middle with full force. It's not a steady run to the end zone, but the method works and works and works. Know your investments. Know your teammates (investments) inside out, know your skills inside out and develop a game plan that will last for many seasons. Good thing unclewest didn't joke around with you and throw in something like MANU or PSFT or LUV or WEN to point you off of the race track. There are some nice companies in the W&W Index. They aren't the only nice ones, but it's a good place to start poking around. BB
