Tom,
Why does Bob Gintel have to be right? Because he has money. He has stated here that he probably will sell too early. I wouldn't be surprised that if he buys back on dips. He probably bought some back the other day. I am sure if you asked him he would tell you that he has sold too early in the past. If you are successful this has to happen to you. What about all the pros that sold Yahoo and AOL early.
Bob, this is not meant as a dig to you. I respect you completely.
IMO the journey is far from over. The only thing that will prove who is right or wrong is based on where Checkfree's price will be in 2 to 4 years. I would ask you and Bob Gintel this, where are you going to put your Checkree profits and do you feel comfortable in thinking that the other investment will outperform Checkfree? And then more importantly, are you a trader or an investor?
Have a great night,
Rob
