Ken: Most of my investing is not really momentum investing. I am not smart enough to make any money doing that<g>. I don't really chase "hot" issues all that much, though I do try it from time to time. Its just happened that my investment horizon usually works out to between 3mos and 15mos. That's just how it happens to work out. I don't like to pick trendy issues but I do try to identify for myself stocks that will provide a reasonably significant short-term incline. When I think it is tired I get off of it. I am no rocket scientist, I have not developed any real "system", but I have been been pretty happy with my averages so until this stops working for me, I will keep doing it. I work very hard for my money, and I want my money to return the favor<g>. Nothing more frustrating for me than an investment that amounts to dead money. Even if only for a few months. I just can't let it sit. It works for me. Congratulations on your bank stock. I would certainly be happy with the returns you have achieved with it. What bank is it? DM
