Yes, the selling decision is far harder than the buying decision [there is probably a parallel here with political regimes, eh] ... it helps imho to see them all as just paper, not get attached [mind you, that's true of fiat money as well, eh, lol]. The expression 'free shares' is used to describe the widespread practice [well widespread among canehjun speckie players anyway] of trading into shares that are paid off ... for instance, in Feb i bought a fair bit of this thing - chart.canada-stockwatch.com ... at 1.21-1.24, within a few days i had sold three quarters of them between 1.98 and 2.49 [too early too cheap as it turned out, but it was only paper, eh] ... the remaining quarter are my 'freebies', and like an idiot i hung onto them all the way down ... bought a few more in the .80s, too early too high as it turned out but what the hey it's only fiat money, eh ... so on the open tomorrow i'll be on the offer i think, around 1.48 maybe 1.58 ... but not with the freebies, because you never know, Bill Gates could decide overnight to invest a gazillion estadounidense in them. Searched altavista.com with "institute of friendship", got some interesting urls ... works great, try it ... for instance - igc.apc.org poptel.org.uk 37 hits ... here's 1963 US thinking, 'Cuba as a base for subversion in America' - rose-hulman.edu Got to go now ... damn, used up all my internet time on the Elián thread again ... but at least it wasn't on the faggotry tangent! ... adios ps - fwiw - i do not now make, and have never made, any pretense of being rational ... i have however made a few bucks in the market ... that these two facts are related is imho entirely plausible.
