Bought Commerce One @ 43 3/4. That was a fun annual report, BTW.

Gene, what I am saying is that some of these bull threads hype ST trading when there's ST momentum in the market, and preach LT investing during down times. That is all well and good, but treacherous at market pivot points and when the investment horizon is obscured (usually, lol). All I am suggesting is that labelling one's comments on the market as ST, IT or LT would be helpful to all. (Wise guidelines from the mdd thread.)
