Off Topic Yes, I checked out RXD but was a bit concerned about the political climate over there! Not much action with ERB lately! Wonder what's happening? B.

Off topic, sort of: Nice to see you back on the thread with your particular wit intact. Quot homines, tot sententiae (As many men, so many minds). As hard as it is to buy low, it is even harder to sell high. If we assume for a moment that these guys will end up with a big hit, the question will become at some point when to sell. Templeton says sell when something else is worth twice as much and switch to it. An old rule says sell half when you have doubled your money. A variant says sell a third at a triple. Someone famous said he never lost money taking a profit and someone else said he always sold too soon on purpose. Sometimes I have felt the best approach is to set an optimistic price target and say to that price or bust. If anyone else has any ideas/folk tales/concepts or suggestions or selling techniques, even though they are "off topic" I, for one, would like to hear them.
