Gst, here's another guy who knew when to sell. Lets hear it for Wesley. Yhooooooooooooooooo! >Others kept their stock market fortunes intact by knowing when to sell. ``I knew that when my company's stock was $185 a share, I was cashing out,'' said Wesley Billingslea, sporting the sandals, shorts, and T-shirt that once signaled a Silicon Valley millionaire -- and in his case, still do. Selling his shares in Ariba, whose stock has fallen to less than $5, allowed Billingslea, 43, to leave the Sunnyvale software company where he managed a business unit and start a second career as a photographer. And the money gave him the freedom to photograph whatever he likes rather than events that will pay the bill. www0.mercurycenter.com
