<LOL> Mr. Clerkin... Personally, I don't know about prognostication or prescience. I specialize in post-gnostication and most times I even get that wrong. For example, I'm now telling friends that the market collapsed in February--I just know I saw that--because Oprah Winfrey was, to use the proper astrological term, conjuncted with Amarillo. I just know I saw that. As for SEEK, well, it's clear from my TA charts, that it formed a classic plunging neckline around February 14th. Which attracted my attention immediately. But, seriously, I, who sold at 17 and 1/2 (because I just wanted to touch and hold my profits) will try to catch the bullet train that is SEEK on Monday. This time, a larger position. And I will blindfold myself for about a month while SEEK does its XCIT imitation. And that Red Herring article was really, really good. As somebody who had questions earlier in the year when the earnings release and SPO announcement were paired together, I've really come around to see the wisdom of Harry Motro and his crew. BTW, it's very good to see some new folks--which, I guess, I should number myself among--on the SI SEEK thread. ( Still, though, there's a lot of really positive and interesting posts on SEEK's Yahoo thread... my home planet. ) I suspect that as the SEEK heads further north, that lots of SI'er's will be joining us here. Best Regards To All SEEK-kind, c m

why sell in the year 2020?, because if SEEK does a 2-for-1 stock split every three years we will be sitting on 1,152,000 shares and will need to start diversifying like Bill Gates does every quarter. I know this sounds unrealistic but $60,000 invested in 1991 in DELL is now worth just over $21.5 million. That was only 7 yrs. ago. The main thing that drives stock prices up over the long term is earnings, and with SEEK projected to break-even by the end of this year in an industry growing at 100%/yr why wouldn't SEEK split every three years. Besides why sell and take your profits just to split it with uncle sam, he already is getting enough of my money.
