hi, ron. this isn't the same bill you addressed, but i'm in a similar situation. bought thrx in 1992 at 7, then several months later doubled my shares when they dipped to 3. thus i got a 10-bagger when it hit 50 the first time, and i'm still holding. actually, for better and worse, i hold everything. have had some go bad, some go sky-high and then fall, but as long as the company exists and has any hope of recovery i never concede. i'm sure this is regarded as a dumb strategy, or non-strategy, but for the portion of the portfolio reserved for riskier picks, it has served me very well. one stock like thrx can compensate for several others that don't make it. ... and, by the way, i had no particular knowledge about thrx. their newsletters and press releases several years ago struck me as credible, so i believed them.

Yes I held it and am still holding..avg price in was very low and I have a significant number of shares more than 10,000 or 20,000 ..Why?? Very early when their sales were around $500,000 per year I investigated the company including traveling to meet Christine and Bruce etc. I did more due diligence than I had ever done on a company, when I finished I was totally convinced the procedure, product and people were about to create a major medical breakthrough.. so I bought alot and stayed with it. I also think it is just starting with only 4 cyclos up and 10 to go..Bill
