1. Congrats on your gains. I'm glad you are nimble enough to lock in your profit. Sure, it always helps to lock in profits from time to time. However, for break out stocks, it's not easy to get in at the bottom and get out at top for most folks like me. I missed too many break out stocks by going in and out for a couple of points each time; harder to decide when to get back in without paying more later. I find it difficult to time it until break-out-stocks go onto side line for a week or so, imho. 2. Let's make it clear about 100m. INPR put One time Dough into "CASH", INPR is smart enough not to insult folks' intelligence. 3. Do not discount the power of "200s" . Why do you think Yahoo gapped up $68+ points the other day? All those funds had to buy Yahoo from those "200s" for index. later, InSook Prasad

Tom: You make an excellent point. I am not worried about INPR, the company. It has an excellent reputation, etc., etc., etc. A few posters (like, BP) are knowledgeable and have pointed out the attributes of INPR for sometime. The problem are the hypsters on the various boards. They talk as if they've been following INPR or Linux stocks for years. In truth, most probably knew little about either before last weekend. If they were "real" investors in INPR and believed in its potential, why did they allow me to buy INPR a week and a half ago at $9. My question is when all the hoopla is over, what do we have left? A company with great tools and reputation? A stock price of $9? And, quiet message boards on SI, Yahoo and RB?
