<<i would like to inquire how u made that>> Bot a bunch of the stock in late 99. It seemed attractive because back end was trailing front end in the big boom. Sold same in April-May 2000. Partly because the April break in the Nasdaq really spooked me. Partly because the CEO announced he was selling half his own stock, and I figured he'd be well placed to make good exit decisions. I traded around the position a lot, but that's the short version. Not much TA involved. No options. My largest total position was long 32,000 (==64,000 post-split) if I recall right. But the average position was a lot less.
