Greg--PIXT & stocks of the like CREATE "stock gypsies"! I do not think holding PIXT shares for over a year and wanting to sell off to seal a 100% gain qualifies me as a "gypsy"...We chased this one down the ladder after a BAD timing call by our broker. It's GAME OVER for him after his recent insistence we sell ALDA (up over 25% since)) Anyway--what I really feel creates "gypsies" are companies with RIDICULOUSLY HUGE, UNWARRANTED salaries for the top dogs and mismanagement of $. The acquisitions of smaller companies to inflate Earnings, manipulation by analysts--i. e., Lehman on PIXT, and rumor mills to prevent exodus when shareholders get disgruntled are also to blame. HUGE block trades created by Funds and retirement plans also swing the stock prices enough to reap rewards too good to pass up. All you "hold for life" proponents are just creating excessive cap gains and estate taxes for yourself when you die! Taxes are taxes if you're dead or alive. I want to spend the majority of my $ TO ENJOY LIFE while I'm alive! I have life insurance for my heirs--It's the _best ROI you'll (n)ever see!! Now don't get me wrong--I DO believe some long term holds. Companies I think worthy of HOLD LONG are FAST, BOOT, and BJICA but there is ALWAYS AN EXIT POINT for the majority of shares. O.K. I think you get my drift here... ***I like your ideas on WAVO & SEEK--I after short study I think we should ride the WAVO! Nice volume I just hope the timing is correct for BUY. Didn't you mean put the mkt order in @ 1 pt BELOW opening price? Also--Chi-town was nice; Buffalo Grove & Libertyville. Also a trip up to Brown's Lake in WI. While there my uncle tried to sell me on BRKA. I think we are more a candidate for "baby BRK"! :) Have a great week! Tomorrow I return to work w/pension plans after a 9 month maternity leave---sad day... :-{ bostonbaby (get it?) P.S. I am impressed by your Internet % gain--but remember you never REALLY have a gain unless you SELL!
