>>Fred: How about a short one?<VBG> You bought at 30 and bragging? Fred, the stock went to 28 1/8 faster than you can type one of your long political speeches. It is now priced at 29 7/16, if the Nasdaq corrects tomorrow and NXTL follows, what will the price be?>> Touche Al. We all have our choices. Log on every day and contribute drivel or try to call shots that add longer term value. Is that your blood pressure rising? Please, before you stroke out on me Al, just know that I did take your comment in the best possible spirit, knowing that one can never say too little or too much when it comes to this medium. You are a soapbox king yourself - which I can appreciate. Perhaps you need a Nextel phone. They are really great when it comes to sharing short braindumps - with dispatch you cannot be interrupted even though there's a very good chance the audience on the other end is not listening to everthing you are saying. Al, I suggest you get on a Nextel network of some type. How about starting a Nextel-Tax Service in your local area. E-mail me if you would like to offer up any ideas along this line for my own network here in the Chicago area. We have accountants onboard already, but getting an undercover G-Man to answer the really important "inside stuff" would be a real coup. As for buying at $30, I try to be blatantly honest and never bragg about investing. There is never a free lunch. Nobody can pick every short term bottom or top. Those who try are just fooling themselves. The fence sitters miss so many more opportunities than what may be saved waiting for the perfect technical alignment of indicators. Is that short enough? I'm making progress. Keep the posts coming. Your Smart Buddy
