Yes, Carlos Slim is a major shareholder, and he is not likely to own mediocre companies. If it is hard to become a billionaire in the US, it is twice as hard to do so in Latin America- We all have a joke here about two Americans that meet in Miami International Airport, one going to Latin America and one returning from L.A.- First one says to the second- Hey, is it true that if you go down to L.A., work hard and kick some butt you can come back in a year with $5MM? Response from the second- yep is true, but only if you go down with $10MM! Pedro

Well, you can add ASKJ to the list of stocks I sold waaaay too early....I made a nice profit, but sheez, like 2 days after I sold it, was when it had that huge pop up, and now it is still kicking butt.....But then again, I bought AAII at about $8.50 and sold some at $15, $20 and $27 and it is now back into the $7's-$8's, and it was 2 days after I sold the last of my shares that it got a 1 day 50% haircut and then continued down more....so, I guess it works both ways <g>......Prediction : I agree with Greg, in that I think this run we are having will be muted, short lived and we head to lower levels afterwards....but, how much of a pop can we get before we tank?? Congrats on your RHAT, Lizzie...another stock I bought in the $3's and sold quickly, only to watch her rise and rise <g>
