dave, I once owned OLGC (bought at 6 1/8 in December '96 and sold 8 months later at 6 5/16) I could have sold in a panic in the 4's but I decided to hold and got out for a miniscule gain. OLGC will do well IMO over the next year or two. The run up to the 20's was all on momentum and hype. As with all of these stocks making money in the short run is only possible if you have good luck or good timing. I tend to buy beaten down stocks and have always made money if I was willing to wait. I have lost my shirt shorting stocks--I was always right with my short picks but my timing always sucks. I apologize for my harsh tone on the last post. VLAD
