I respect your opinion, Rory, which does make me give pause..... I think I will stick by my strategy of taking enough profit to be happy and holding onto "zero cost" profit shares for the long term. Tho, last time I did that I ended up running the "profit" into the ground. (EGEOQ) Still, human psychology being what it is, even tho I still lost REAL money, it hurt less because it wasn't "new" money. Again, we'll see how it plays out. Gotta admit it made me suck my breath in when I saw that extra zero on the end of the Profit/Loss number today! I have been accumulating this one through all of last year, with about 22K shares. Regards, CPS

Rory: These little crappy stocks were all born to be traded not taken home. Hmmmmm, so MEXP which has a m-cap under $50 mil and trades 50,000 shares per day is a "trading" stock? Wonder how many people put in a "market" sell order today and got 25 - 40% less than they expected? Who exactly did the pump? Not an Austin Powers type "pump" I assume? I agree that anyone who recently bought at $1 shouldn't be criticized for selling today. Had to have been there at the right time, though. Andrew
