<< You made the right decision to hang in there. >> No decision was made here. Despite having bought originally at 10-1/8, 10-1/2 and 10-5/8, I sold all at 16 and re-bought about a week later at 15-3/4 and 16-1/8. Wimping out in the 14's would have (1) locked in a 5-digit loss, and (2) left me unable to buy back in should a buying opportunity present itself. The easiest decisions are the ones that leave you with no choices :) Piranha

now wait a second! I gotta keep SOME of my honor here.. I sold about 3 weeks ago at 16 1/2.. Believe me you, if I sold at $14 or 15 I would be too embarrassed to post here!!! I made a lot of money trading TDFX and was so upset with myself when I purchased at $17+ when the rest of the market was tanking.. I thought TDFX was ready to explode but when it faded to 16 1/2 I decided to leave and try and time a return in the middle of December.. So all and all im not upset since TDFX has been nothing but fantastic to me. I will be back in once my 30 day wash is up. Believe me, when we went to $14 the other day I was on the phone calling all the people who I got into this stock to buy more. ...Not to mention that as we speak, I have just finished getting ready to attend a part in which I will share the company of several folks I got to invest in this company back at around $12-13. Needless to say- I should be the life of THIS party. Sometimes the emotions for a stock run deeper than just the money.. TDFX has that effect on me.. I want this to be a $30-50 stock next year simply because I saw it coming... one more 'funny' note.. The day of the big news release a friend stopped me in the hall way to laugh at my 'faith' in TDFX. To make a long story short, he put a limit order in at 13 3/4- which never filled.. how do you think HE feels?!?!
