PARACITES! THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU I spammed this board ONCE in 1999 with the following -------------------- THIS IS MY ONE SPAM OF THE MILLENIUM CHECK OUT CPU. A TWO POINT MOVE FROM 6 5/8 IS A 35% RETURN. EVEN OUR DEPARTED ORACLE, DOUG R, LIKES IT. TA PEOPLE TELL ME THE CHARTS A BREAK OUT. TAKE A LOOK. ------------------- Today the tender offer for $10.10 per share was announced! LESSON: I've been in 12K ($5.87)of CPU since August. Cursing this dog. "Why didn't I sell @ $7 1/2 or 8." I almost most sold it a dozen times to make a 1/2 to 3/4 point and be able to take my money and move on. But today the fundamentals finally paid off. I'm out @ 9 11/16. WHY DO I TELL YOU THIS? FIRST: Because I'm bragging. SECOND: I keep thinking about all the times I almost lost patience with CPU and why I bought it. THE LESSON,IF THERE IS ONE. It's been a shitty ride on PAIR for me since April, especially when I factor in lost opportunity with my PAIR money. But Avidia is for real (I think) and I don't want to kick myself for weathering the storm only to leave just as the sun came up. We're $250million richer (stock price and note) and we have Avidia. I'm going to stick around and see how this plays out. I've been to the valley with PAIR == I'd sure like to see how the mountain top looks. I'll keep the lantern on for you.
