The stupid part was to sell the CORL. I had plenty of $$$ and new that it would 'hit' sooner or later. Just got tired of seeing it go up and down fast and did a trade. The patient investor gets rewarded (most). Thanks a 'million' for pounding the table on NSATF.

As long as we are confessing--My Stupid Move of Year. Going to trouble of switching accounts, moving to DIR based on Richard's good experiences w/ IPO's, having requisite cash in account, getting notice re. ANDN Dutch Auction--AND DOING NOTHING!!! AAARG! I seem to be having the opposite of the complacency problem. It's more of the risk aversion problem. I am up over 160% on the year, with a strategy that has been mostly based on catching the ups after down spikes. Those have been few and far between lately. Sooo. I was out of the market for 2 weeks during the switch (gave up on EGRP), up only 8% on 3 in/out trades so far at DIR. Sitting on cash again--like a deer caught in the headlights. Actually my analogy is more like the end of the movie Dumb and Dumber where the hitchhiking heroes pass on the bus-filled bevy of beauties (how was that for a twofer, Dale <<ggg>>)? So how about giving me a collective good swift kick to get me moving again gang? BTW I think that ISLD is not done yet. Methinks others are seeing the rel. market caps of AKAM, ISLD, EXDS and ISLD still is undervalued by those measures (Of course the others are actually overvalued, but nobody seems to care). ANDN has an interesting and apparently unique LINUX connection too that will likely levitate (oops) it higher too. Jim
