Wow, Me Giving Short-Term Advice Is WAY DANGEROUS... I got into PNLK by DUMB, DUMBER, DUMBEST luck; found a reference to it on Yahoo SEEK! thread of all places; did quick DD; found somebody I knew on the SI PNLK thread; and then bought and sat until this morning. I figured I'd had a very nice run... VERY NICE RUN... and why be greedy? (Again, this will give you insight into how little of a system I worked with on this and lot of my lucky plays.) This thing, PNLK, is right now THE PERFECT BRAIN VIRUS (or meme, as some writer calls it)... it's on the Web... it's a search engine... it's got e-commerce potential... and, hey, did I mention it's on the Web? Now, a brain virus doesn't have to be a bad thing--there are slogans and catchy little songs that fit into this category. And there are ideas like BALANCING THE BUDGET which became meme-esque and benefitted us all in the end. But, why the frick be greedy? You've made a good chunk off this... sure, it could run to 25, I suppose... but think about that... what kind of market cap would that be a for COMPANY THAT REALLY BARELY EVEN EXISTS YET? There's a guy named Gilberg on the Yahoo! SEEK thread who is a bit of a visionary and a very smart fellow. And he's all over this stock with the zealousness of stalker... He LOVES IT! And Gilberg jumped on SEEK early and has profited mightily. But, this ISN'T a SEEK. And in order for it to be the next SEEK, I'm afraid it's going to have to go through all the painful growing up stages and missteps... which no one likes to think about. My short answer is, Dave, s**t, I don't know. But, if you've gotten a sweet little return... why even look back? You've outdone many others who claim to be REALLY GREAT at this stuff. Just my long-winded opinion... Best Regards, c m P.S.: Their site presumably goes up Friday. I think a lot of this run is in anticipation of seeing THE SITE FROM GOD... but, what if it's just little more earthly... and a little less than spectacular... Or what if it doesn't go online Friday...? I'm not spreading doubts about a company that I've profited in... and I've never SHORTED a stock in my life... but, caution is a good thing... I think... gulp...
