DGIV Bid 7.625.....Ask 7.656......Volume 210,000....Last trade.... 300 shares at 7.625 Patricia, Your "rambling" contained a lot of sense. And it's from our mistakes that we learn and become better. And if we're smart, we seek out the people who have already become successful, and listen to them...not blindly, mind you....because if we are to be independent thinkers we must have our own thoughts to factor in the equation.... but we will take their advice into our personal fold. I've been gone for a few hours, but it looks as though Mr. D's order must've been filled as I see that the ask is below $7.75. I was wondering if it would go below that. In a way, I'm not surprised that it did, because I think the jump up to $8.00 from $7.50 was an orchestrated one....done mainly to perhaps short the stock from the $8 range and bring it back down to about the $7.50 range. I think the buying that we've been bringing in has perhaps thwarted the efforts for a little bit...but also, I imagine there has been plenty of selling coming from here also. Not big amounts....because I've noticed that most of the sells seem to be in smaller lots...but enough so that it allows the mm's to slowly bring the price of the stock down. That's ok, because I think that it also will mean that when DGIV does begin to go up again....it will go up harder and faster. I hope that my daughter takes to investing the way that your children have. Right now, she has never known what it's like to be without money (I've been the one having the nervous breakdowns over money!), but as she gets older, I make her pay more and more her own way for things that she wants so that she begins to realize how hard one must sometimes work to get and keep their money. As cohesive as this group is, one should never forget the lessons of OPEC. When one deals with a group, one must realize that the needs of each individual in the group are different, and so sometimes, even though all would like to hold, sometimes some must sell. But that's ok, because as you said, it's the fundamentals of the company that is important. And even though there is unrest in Indonesia...as many have pointed out....they still need to communicate...and so I think that Jimmy Chin & Co. is going to do just fine. Also, Indonesia is just one of many irons in the fire. I haven't read much of the thread yet, so I don't know what's happening, but hopefully I'll find everyone to be as you and I are...nonchalant. Juanita P.S. Tell Mrs. T that I expect to get a Mother's Day card!!! <g>
