All good points Dave, but I just feel obligated. If I say when I'm going in...which I did....then it's only fair to say when I'm going out, which I did. People can do what they want with that and always do. So far it has proved to be a good short-term choice on my part...and that's all it is is a short-term choice. There's one rule I apply to the Stock market and really only one which I learned very early in the game too...and that rule is, you can not go broke taking profits.

Actually, it is betters and chartists die broke, not bookies and chartists. Bookies usually do pretty well because they deal with the betters. I don't know about chartists. Second, while you won't go broke taking profits, you will leave lots of money on the table because you're getting out too early. I don't know when "too early" is but, if you are in this to make money you have to let the profits run, just in case you are on to the BIG one. That's the one that goes up 1,000 plus per cent. At some point it is up 100% and 300% so while you won't go broke selling out, you won't catch the brass ring. I like to double up on winners ... but it takes all kinds. (O'Neal of IBD follows this theory as well) Third, is this is the Interface Systems thread or the snow report? How about some more on the fundamentals you like so much? And the industry and the competition and what's on the immediate horizon? That's what threads are for.
