Steve, I've got an improvement story for you. Day before I decided I had to have some VVUS. It opened in the higher 8's and then dropped all day. I had entered a market order to buy so I assumed while I was off to work I was going in the toilet by the minute. I get home to find that my order to sell another stock and this order had not been filled. When I mailed them on it, they filled me at the high for the day on CEXP for a sell, and gave me the buy on VVUS at 8. MORONS. I should be happy now but frankly it scares the hell out of me if I need to get in and out of something quickly. Perhaps 9.00 is not so cheap after all! Jeff

Leo, Steve didn't state it couldn't categorically stand on it's own merit; he said he wouldn't recommend it: >>Infact, I would strongly recommend that anyone avoid that stock as it seems a bit of a reach and overvalued. He said if it could stand on its own merit, then the place to discuss that was on the stock thread rather than this one. If you'll read back on the thread, Steve has tried (very politely) to discourage individual stock picks here (except as examples) simply to keep focused on what we're trying to discuss, which is the way the markets work. Of course occasionally there's a digression for a while. Pobody's nerfect <ggg>.
