thanks, i bought some in one of those accounts that i use where i just like buy the stock and forget about it. speaking of which. i recall a stock i bought in 1999 for 22 cents. i bought 10,000 shares [so i thought] and traded it all the way up to 8 and half bucks where i sold 8 shares and let 2k shares ride. they went up to 13+ and then the stock pulled back. when it dropped under 9 bucks one morning i was looking through some accounts i rarely trade and found out that i had purchased 2500 shares in one account and 7500 shares in another account [ i got them a 22 cents at the same time as the other shares] but had COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THEM. i sold the 10k shares for around $8.50 and then cut the last 2k go at $7.37
