I am not worried about DRIV either. It could take another dip down near 7, but probably not. I've got a limit order in just in case it does and certainly a great long term hold. I suspect the move up will start after the window dressing is finished for the quarter - only a week away. But who knows.

Cornell is not that boring - but you need to like the outdoors. Not all much here to offer a city person - although in upstate NY, this is considered an oasis of culture.
