Hi polvie, If I may add my 2 cents here on ELON. Since this thread follows to a certain extent the investment principals from the Gorilla Game, I would like to put forth that we who are in or have been in ELON, have been WAY!!!TOO EARLY. The company has not yet even shown a profit yet. It is at best a "shiny pebble". I for one am liquidating all holdings in this stock in the AM and WILL NOT be back in until I see positive evidence that a tornado for it's product is firmly in place. If I miss some of the upswing, so be it. But I have ridden this puppy down twice and there will NOT be a third time. Later, Joel

<<So, ELON missed ? something tells me the is an ENTRY opportunity. no? BTW- clappy's point was good about blame but i read all yer posts and know you haven't blamed anyone other than yerself for any losses. keep on keepin' on dude. yer fren, -polvie >> Oh yea...clappys post was excellent and I know he didnt mean anything personal by it. Sometimes I need a good whack in the head, as I tend to not hold back my thoughts very often, and sometimes those thoughts can be taken the wrong way.........anyway, as I said, I blame only one, and that one is me. Buy in point for ELON ?? Sheez, I dont know, man, I'd like to take it out back and shoot it, but that wont do any good. What I dont get, is it really seemed to me like they were unfire...lots of contracts for lots of money pouring in. Maybe they are planning a blowout qtr next time....who knows. All I know is this stock keeps kicking my ass like there is no tomorrow. I had July 65's written on the shares, but ha....... The question now, is where does elon go from here. While the market has surged from 3200 to 4200, I have been sitting on and buying qcom, cmgi, aol, elon and etc......stocks that have been beaten down and seemed at good value. Meanwhile I sold ntap, sunw, jdsu ( some...but bought some back...higher of course )intel and etc, because they seemed like the ones that were bloated and ready to correct back....anyway, obviously I love qcom, aol and cmgi for the long haul, so I just need to be patient....but elon, I have no idea. This stock could go to $10 as easitly as it goes to $90......... I guess I'll watch it. I wont buy it now. It either goes up and I bail, or it goes much lower and i'll consider averaging down or just using the shares as tinder when I next go camping <ggg> Keith@frustration.com
