HI CLINT! Amazing day on the NAZ. Volume a tad on the light side. I fell into my old mistake to anticipate that we will fail at the 4825 level THINKING that i could rebuy most of my stocks lower. Therefore i sold when the Index reached that level. I was very angry with me that i sold TXCC in the low 100s...you can imagine.Congrats to you since i assume you held. Great move!! Still the last two weeks are the best i ever had and i should be thankful. But the old perfectionist in me sees what would've been possible and is struggeling with the lost opportunities. The old man "perfectionist" is never satisfied! Cruel guy! Tonite i will study what to do differently in the future. The only stock i held onto was CPTH (my entry is 81 5/8,small position) and i'm willing to let it go to 74-75 which is it's longer term uptrendline and under the 50DMA. Should've added today around 76 but missed that little dip while being in the garden. Maybe tomorrow. Will have a look at vnwi. Also put your other stocks at least in my daily watchlist although i rarely do IPOs. For me it's good to see a recommendations from you. My TA might be quiet different from yours but i know that you have a vast knowledge about the industry since you're working in it. So if you buy a company means an endorsement for me, some sort of fundamental OK and that's a good to know. More trust in a stock and a little more risk tolerance. Thanks again being here! Stefan

Hi CLint. Here's another stock doing a placement. Not all details available yet. Do you think the note buyers short the stock down to their "entry" price? Seems logical to me as it gaurantees them an immediate profit. Any thoughts? biz.yahoo.com Thursday March 9, 5:39 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: RF Micro Devices, Inc.
