1/2 mil...and I thought I had something to cry about. <grin> Well that works both ways...when MTSN is in the 70's you ought to be ecstatic, while I'll merely be pleased. Wish I'd thought a bit bigger when the stock was around $3...

Semi 2000 I'd rather pay a short term gain any day than run the risk of a long term loss. Most of the secondary tech stocks have a bull and bear cycle at least twice a year. There are at least two tech wrecks every year. The techs have a bear phase which starts every year in late May or early June and usually ends with a wicked selling climax in October. These stock go down a lot easier and a lot faster than they go up. What I am trying to say is that it't damn hard to get a meaningful long term gain in secondary tech stocks. Phil
