that's a complex question sid. there was a day i would have, and did, gladly pay $47 for a share of EMLX. as i have said in the past, stocks are merely letter representations of numerical odds. where do you feel the odds lie on this trade today? in blackjack, it is felt that you never split tens. a professional of course would split the pair, if the count indicated that doubling the bet yielded an acceptable chance. of course the gambler would also understand that the second bet was hedged by the first as the chances of losing both bets are so small given the card count. what's fascinating is that everyone else at the blackjack table would think the gambler to be a complete idiot. of course the security expert would immediately be alerted that this gambler indeed was a professional and not a moron. smaller circles, within larger circles within bigger circles. how much is EMLX worth? i'm not sure, but one thing i can tell you is that today, it ain't very much more than $47.
