Kimberly - I have to make a comment on this "patience" issue. A lot of us do not have the bottomless pockets of you and Mogul ... we have patience, but limited funds and can only hold stocks so long. I thought this was a short term thread. IGLD turned out to be great and I am thrilled for everyone that was able to hold. I bought this when recommended on 11/30 and sold it on 12/16 to free up cash for all the other "hot" recommendations. 2 1/2 weeks holding a stock on a short term/momo recommendation seems like patience to me. I am holding a lot of the recommendations from this thread at considerable paper losses after all the table pounding and "loading the boat" and "adding at these sale prices" and "backing up the truck" and "adding more here" and I'm not referring to you here) ... I mean - it gets a little much. I don't know about everyone else, but I just can't keep holding EVERY stock recommended - especially when under the assumption it was a "quickie" stock. Patience is important but only if we know something is a longer term hold -- but if stocks are put out as momentum and short term trades, patience can only go so far. I know that I buy differently longer term vs. short term and day trades. If you are now putting out long term holds that require patience I sure wish you (and MOGUL) would clarify it when put out. It makes things a lot easier on some of us who do not have the funds to play and hold EVERYTHING. Thank you.
