Whoopee! How does it feel to see all that profit evaporate? Oh, I forgot if you had sold 50% higher you would have had to pay tax at 20%. Right now after tax I figure you are 100,000 below where you should have been if you bought 10000 shares at 2 Monty

Total return of -$2 until you sell. Total lost opportunity >$20 since summer slide (= 1000%) Total lost opportunity today > $4 (=200%). It's all in how you look at it I suppose. Me, I bailed from tech mid summer as posted, watching the carnage from the sidelines. Even after tax, I could re-establish the entire position with a few hundred percent of my cost base of real profits "left over" to play with. If I were so inclined. Great company, market skittishness still attaches a high risk to the price. Don't envy you having to decide whether to ride this out or take profits. At least you'll likely end up somewhere in the black. John.
