Early in April of this year, OIL was trading around $18/share. I thought it was a good buy there, and shopped around for a block. The best a trader could offer me on a block was at $19.25. I decided that the trader was trying to steal from me and I waited for a block to come available closer to where the market was trading. The next morning Merrill raised their rating from a neutral to a buy. The next morning they announced a large find in Equatorial Guniea. A week ago today shareholders received $45 cash in exchange for their stock. Of course, I wasn't a shareholder because I was trying to save a buck.

Anyone beat that? I sold lots of shares of INTC in '86 @ $18 at the time Intel reported a loss. 6 splits ago. Sold more in '90 to build a house. 5 splits ago. I'd be up there with Paul if it weren't for those 2 moves. EP
