<< Of course, we could still see the pullback FIDO was counting on when he sold, but I'm starting to believe that the twenties are behind us now. Until the split, that is. >>

My recent sell-out was based upon what I considered to be a reasonable expectation that the market would react badly to the Yamaichi fiasco, and a general weakness in the Japanese and South Korean markets. My information is that Wall St determined that the Yamaichi situation was a special one and was atypical.

On the whole I don't look back and ask myself "Did I make money on that trade?". I try to make decisions based on what I consider to be the present and future worth of a stock, not on how much I paid for it. I only play IOM at the moment, and I will, at any one time, be 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% in the stock; based on my estimate of the probability of future behavior of the stock. A 50% position would indicate that I have no feeling one way or anotgher, except that in a rather general sense the fact that I am only talking about IOM means that I am very comfortable with its continued growth.
