It says something about the emotional nature of stock-picking that so many ideas here are generally ignored. Many of us do-it ourselfers just love homegrown ideas the best. That said, I've made significant profits off several ideas here, and it is hard to say what it is that makes me follow up on certain ones and not others - probably how they are presented. Ironically, I am horrified that someone actually acted on something I said and that it turned into a daytrade - eegads more money to the brokerage industry. I don't think I've ever used the words "buy it now" before and I never will again. That said, I'm not at all down on Medusa - I still have the equivalent of a 75% initial position in it. But an investor giddy with his gains is likely not the best person to turn to for objective analysis. Ron Bower has claimed before that cement is his turf. Any comment Ron? Thanks in advance. Mike
