yellowfintuna, It would not be me to dance around your question and pretend to be economically correct. Yes just buy the damn thing! I stand to be chastised, V

Dear tasty sandwich (previously known as yellowfintuna), Q is the kind of stock that if one hesitates too much, what one ultimately pays for the shares is more than what one had expected. You seem to have come to a firm answer to the question, "Do I want to add to my position in Q." Rather than just put in a market order, I would put in a limit order, especially if you can keep an eye on it tomorrow. I do expect Q to open up but drop before it continues its ascent. If there is a set amount of money you have to spend, aiming for a _little_ dip can maximize your shares. Regards, Lynn

"just buy it"? I don't always follow my own advice, but I always kick myself later when I don't. My best overall performance on stocks I want to accumulate have been when I bought, it went up so I bought more, it went up, ... by this time I think it's overvalued, but what do I know .... so I buy again and again until it finally corrects and stays there (That's how I bought Dell). The last few share are bought too high, but the rest of them more than make up for the ones that drop. TP
