RE:Congratulations. I am sure your parents are very proud of you. ;) -VBG Yeah, considering the last time they took a stock recommendation from a relative it was Control Data decades ago when computer stocks were the hot item...just before the bottom fell out! My mother's uncle was the broker. I learned very young that brokers really don't have a clue even if they are relatives and are trying to help you! 20 yrs of my working at HWP and they never bought the stock. 8( My brothers shoe company he worked at for 20 yrs went from $44 to zero and Ch11 so investing in companies your kids work at is not a slam dunk either. I'd be happy if their BOWG stock went up another 8x, but they are aware it could go back to $1 or less. cheers Kirk out
