Dan, I didn't see you mention investing in your statement. Investing in stock over past several years hasn't been a good idea which is my point. I don't know enough about MTXX to say if there is trouble. I was making a general comment on stocks that run into trouble. The market doesn't do what you expect it to all the time and you have to act accordling. Btw, thanks for the take on FLEX. I'll be waiting for the next reentery.

as usual I'll take the other side in order to generate discussion >>>MTXX has not been a good stock to trade the last couple of years because of the narrow trading range and low volume hindsight of course is 20/20 but take a look at the ranges QUARTERLY PRICES Date Open High Low Close Volume 03/31/00 16.125 36.062 12.750 15.250 12,605,700 06/30/00 15.750 16.500 8.062 13.875 4,798,300 09/30/00 13.750 17.062 11.000 17.062 2,779,100 12/31/00 17.093 17.812 6.000 6.750 5,317,200 03/31/01 6.812 11.625 6.500 8.937 2,726,000 06/30/01 8.875 9.750 6.900 7.850 1,636,400 09/30/01 7.710 8.350 5.400 6.850 2,000,700 12/31/01 6.400 8.000 6.000 6.900 1,561,300 03/31/02 6.890 8.640 6.350 8.640 1,357,300 06/30/02 9.000 11.000 7.900 9.990 1,949,100 09/30/02 9.900 10.880 9.100 9.750 1,544,400 12/31/02 9.550 10.149 7.640 7.950 1,372,800 03/31/03 8.040 9.050 6.210 7.290 1,370,000 04/10/03 7.490 7.650 7.000 7.160 141,200 instead of holding for the entire time maybe trading around a core position would have given nice rewards especially for one as patient as you are on this stock; willing to swing trade over weeks or months rather than 5 minutes 16 to 36 36 to 8 8 to 17 17 to 6 6 to 12 12 to 5 5 to 11 11 to 6 6 to ?? to me that is NOT a "narrow trading range "
