MH, We are experiencing some jitters from long and mid term holders of Q. Large profits have us on the edge of our seats trying to figure a way to lock in the profits and still hold the ability to receive the future growth of the company and stock. Many stock holders bought CSCO, MSFT, INTC, AOL and others years ago and locked in profits and bragged to friends about their good fortune, hindsight shows that a few shares of MSFT seven years ago held today has turned into more than a $1,000,000 portfolio. Dell is the same story. Ever hear about the guy who bought IBM many years ago and is now worth millions? IBM did a search of stockholder records a few years ago and and found that most old time investors had sold the stock years ago, too soon I might add. I knew one oldtimer that left a $7,000,000 estate mostly in IBM stock. He had worked for the town I live in and bought a few shares of IBM and never sold it, not the common holder according to IBM records. How many people do you know who have sold the biggest winners too soon? More than a few i'll bet. From all reports Q has its best growth ahead and the split will attract more shareholders. There are only two reasons to sell Q*. 1. If their unique franchise is challenged and they lose. 2. If you need money cdaisey@add-to-positions-post-split.com
