Fair enough. It was only an advice which I follow by myself. Take for example COMS. I didn't think about taking profits at 65 because the momentum looked too strong for me. (I posted earlier here). What happened in turn? My stop order has been hit at 72, so I left five points on the table, but only lucky ones catch the top. But then, I got more than 65 for it. For me the message was clear. Presumably I'm done with the stock, at least on the long side...I simply move on. I have no reason to love a stock. #reply-12869808 I stand corrected. Despite that I didn't think about selling it before the Palm pricing earlier, I did, admittedly.

"I have been called every name in the book and have resisted doing so in return." Are you for real? Anybody that has followed this ill fated discussion knows exactly how blatant a lie this is. You've just discredited yourself- again. "They certainly do nothing to unfairly manipulate the price of their stock." Which fairy tale are you reading? I must have missed that one. Please tell me. I love a good fantasy. "...idiots savant..." Do you even know what an idiot savant is? It's an individual that is below the normal in very skill except one. In that one skill, however, they excel far beyond most normal individuals. If you're implying that Bill and I are idiot savants with respect to our ability to identify stock promotion frauds that are doomed to collapse, then I accept that compliment. Remember Rain Man? What if he had that ability instead of the ability to count cards? The movie would have ended with a happier ending. Keep buying GUMM Mikey. I can't wait to see those massive buy orders on the ticker tomorrow.

Keeping an open mind is essential. If GUMM's management fails to execute the business plan then I will exit the stock. To date I have no reason to be unhappy with management. Mike, you've owned GUMM since at least 1996 if memory serves me correctly. Are you saying that you've been happy with management the entire time, and that they have managed to successfully execute their business plan over the entire period? If not, why did you stay long the stock?
