Wow, that hurts. But, actually you learned something from this example, so it is not a total loss<G>. I have another story of my lost big fish, QCOM. I liked this stock for years but never felt the price was cheap enough for me to buy. When I saw it dropped to ~$26 (before split) last year I decided to place a low bid with GTC order. Then, I forgot to track it completely. A month later it had gone way above my buy point, but I kept on place low bids without doing much homework. When it hit $100 I gave it up completely. But, I still thought it was just hype and short squeeze, but when I looked at it again it was $390. Finally, I spend some time to track down what happened. To my surprise I was convinced that QCOM should be a ~$1000 stock. But, my last low bid at $390 left me empty handed again..... watched it hit $450 and kept on going. Now, I am still watching it after its split. This is the biggest screw up I had ...hahaha... Nevertheless, the opportunities for hitting a really big home run is out there everyday. They come and go like taxies. It is the matter if we can find them, ride them and dismount them gracefully. We need to manage all three to finish a perfect run. That will be a first class dream for me<VBG>. Good luck and take care. Sincerely, Wade
