Sorry Dave, you have been hoodwinked. But I'll try and save you whether you want me to or not.

Thanks. Just so everyone understands, I don't post every buy and sell I make. I haven't been happy about the recent good news for nothing as I am holding a position in IDTI calls and stock. Don't expect me to post every move I make; I don't expect that from anyone else. Yea, I sold too early recently but then got back in. I didn't post all the times I bought at a price so that the run up looked pretty nice at the time. One very successful investor I know, much more so than myself, told me "I'm not interested in being in the market all the time or getting the last 20% of a move. I'm looking for the 'heart of the trade', after the stock starts moving up but before it starts selling off. If I miss sometimes, that's OK. When I don't have money in a stock it is not at risk." Some people have bought and held IDTI for the past two years or more and are just now starting to get a smile back on their faces after being on a roller coaster ride between 9-11 and 14-15 valleys and peaks. In hindsight, a few weeks ago would have been the time to have mortgaged the farm and invested to hold while times before that it might have been better to invest in other stocks if your plan was to hold. I have been both a long-term and trading investor in IDTI and have made considerably more trading. I think IDTI now looks like a great stock to buy and hold. It will eventually break through to new highs and hopefully continue to many times the current value.
