Teflon, Congrats on the birth of your son. I am very happy for you. I remember you used to toss names like GMST and SFE around. I bought and sold these long time ago(before the big gains). Should have listened to you and held for the timeframes you had indicated. They sure took off afterwards. Great picks. I had great success with the fibre optics sector, especially JDSU which should do well going into earnings and another stock split in March. I am just waiting for it to be added to the S and P 500 before selling any of it. After that expected occurence (IMHO), i will probably sell 1/3 or more. Expecting it to take off the way Yahoo did when that stock was added. MSFT looked great today. It is still safer than the high fliers in the event of a severe correction (which i doubt will happen). I am probably going to make a sizable holding in the near term. I have sold it in the past since it is in retirement account with no tax consequences on selling. Now i ready to put some cash back into it.

Tef, Congratulations on your Christmas present! And good luck on keeping your life in focus. I've got one little one, and it's a full time job in itself. Finding time for investing leaves me about two hours to sleep, and that's when the baby is crying! Bill
