Check with the H&Q analyst. Allen thought the price should be 40% higher than it was a year ago and the H&Q analyst was more conservative. The company tracked the NASDAQ, so the H&Q guy did a better job. I believe that Allen Benn just acknowledged that even tho the stock did indeed hit 70, it didn't end that high. Maybe u missed that... I didn't miss that. Allen also didn't advocate selling at that time. I did advocate selling and I even told you that the bond holders would short against the box. You'd have a nice profit if you took my advice. Weren't u the guy that said that u were going to buy AOL puts at 60? And now it's 90? good call! Wasn't PTEC ur favorite stock all year? good call! I closed those positions at a profit. I'm not greedy and I don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Your greediness cause you to lose 25% of your money! Only a fool holds onto a stock after getting a big profit. And the 50 week chart of RSYS looks particularly strong!!! I didn't advocate buying it 50 weeks ago. It was overpriced at that time. I bought it after it fell a long time and sold it after a 40% rise. I don't fall in love with stocks. Think of me not as your enemy with a vendetta, but as your friend the devil's advocate helping you refine your thinking. Most SI threads suffer from a lack of balanced opinion, so consider yourself lucky. There's no reason to waste emotional energy on a stock or a stock discussion.
