I don't know how one can trade this company with so much potential coming. I know the likely hood of missing the boat is probably not as high as one thinks but then the upside is too good to be watching it pull away from you while you hope to get back in lower. I am not a good trader so I am more likely to get it all wrong anyway. I have decided to trade only a few which I already sold on the way up so now I am sitting tight with my core position until the price drops low enough for me to buy back my traders. If we don't get news I think we'll see a 1.40 consolidation level so we still have a way to go yet. But just in case I am wrong I am not selling my core position. I am looking for a price many multiples of this one. I hope you were successful with your trades today. Perhaps you could tell me some day how you do it. I would be interested to learn. Cheers. Ray

Kevin Your sells made up almost 25% of the volume today. Everyone is entiled to play a stock how they see fit but I wonder where it would have closed without those sales? Best Regards KEITH

Kevin, I'm sure most already knew that you sold. Was just reading some of your posts and found the following very interesting (no pun intended) From November 9 to November 21, the only stock you were talking about (I'm not sure if I shouldn't be using the word hype) was JDX. On Novemver 22, an investor trading through Schwab sold 118500 shares at an average price of 1.30. On November 22, you posted the following : Message 12053044 I am now out of JDX for the time being. Here are my thoughts: 1) I wasn't too crazy about that opening....in fact it bugged me quite a bit. As they say, "don't argue with the market". Well the market wasn't exactly going too crazy about the releases. 2) Mid day, the market picked up nicely and it looked like the $1.40 level was finally broken and could now act as support. It didn't. Once JDX broke back down below $1.40, it never really went back with any strength to retest it. 3) Unless JDX now has more releases to go, I couldn't say any valid reasons to myself as to what would sustain the price at this level at this time. (Lots of times I do try and make a few good good ones up to try and convince myself though!") "Mystery and/or anticipation" has the capacity to fuel buying. News, once released is an event "said and done", hence the oft heard phrases "sell on news", or "buy on mystery, sell on history". 4) I think Medsite is already factored into the current price of JDX, so I was really looking for the news releases to give tangible evidence of further profit. Although the news of riding the coat tails of some of the big v.c's is nice, it may be some time before this translates into actual deals with actual dollars attached. This may be satisfactory for some with a long range perspective. For myself, I'm just not built to be that patient a person! So right or wrong, this was my personal best decision at this moment. Should something come along that causes me to reconsider these thoughts mentioned above, I'll certainly come back in, and at a higher price if warranted. I may also come back in if the price moves down from here to more attractive levels given my own interpretation of the news and the market's somewhat bland response today. Best wishes everyone. My one wish from here is that I'm right out to lunch on my reasons to sell and that those who continue to hold do very very well as the price hopefully climbs further still! Low and behold the investor from Schwab started accumulating some shares on December 9 and did so until December 17. 12/09/99 30000 1.20 5000 1.05 25000 -93700 -30718 123642 12/10/99 20000 1.18 0 0.00 20000 -73700 -23664 99978 12/15/99 10000 1.23 0 0.00 10000 -63700 -12341 87637 12/16/99 2000 1.21 0 0.00 2000 -61700 -2420 85217 12/17/99 45000 1.50 0 0.00 45000 -16700 -67336 17881 On December 15, after having bought back 50,000 or so shares, the investor decided to start posting on the JDX thread Message 12290857 Very nice trading on JDX yesterday. I imagine JDX will be leaving these current $$$ levels behind now. Once the accumulation was finalized, Message 12317880 Message 12321248 Message 12321285 Message 12330165 Message 12330778 Needless to say, most if not all of these posts were written for one reason and one reason only! Surprise, surprise, the schwab investor once again dumps right into momentum triggering a bunch of stops. 12/20/99 0 0.00 105000 1.59 -105000 -121700 167202 185083 I remember you telling me not to fall in love with a stock Kevin, something you seemed to have failed to do with MRY. Could it be that you are so desperate to recup some of your losses that you are willing to sacrifice your credibility? If you view my profile, you will notice the following quote my friend: Character is what you stand for and Reputation is what you fall for I see you are still falling.... Pretty sad! AK
