Leo, What a great idea! To share our DGIV experiences. I bet each of us has a very interesting story! I first heard about DGIV when it was at 43 cents. Did I buy it? No. I bought something else. Next thing I knew...DGIV was at 60 cents. Did I buy it? No....I held onto the something else. FINALLY when DGIV was at $1.25, I said...this is ridiculous....and I bought in. Had to sell most of the other one at a loss to do it....but I took a deep breath and just plunged in and did it. I really felt that DGIV would go higher....I just didn't realize HOW MUCH higher. I sold some of the DGIV when it was at $3.75 for a triple in order to diversify and get into other things. The other things fizzled, and so I had to rebuy as many DGIV shares as I could at $6.00. Then I bought more the other day when it dropped so suddenly to $5.75. Felt like I was receiving a gift. Of course, I bought at $5.75 the very day AFTER my cousin bought at $7.25. Of course, my wudda cudda shudda is IF ONLY I had bought in when I was first told about it by Shark when it was at 43 cents and then HELD ON, but I didn't and so I'm happy with what I do have. One thing that hampered me was the pressure that I had knowing that I would have to withdraw money a couple of weeks ago in order to pay off a debt and get money to live on for the summer, as I had promised my daughter that I would take the summer off and be with her more. I finally took a deep breath and sold some of my DGIV shares...reluctantly, I might add, when it was at $7.50....only to be happily able to buy back some at $5.75 (couldn't resist) and still have enough money to pay off the debt and live on through July. So, since I still have August to cover, I decided to put some of that "living money" on a some of the other stocks I like....ICVI, INFE, TSIS, and JAWZ. I will tell you all right now that I will be trading all of those stocks at one point or the other this summer...but the remaining DGIV shares are ones that I have promised myself and my daughter (since she owns some of them in a custodial account) to HOLD through infinity and I backed up that promise to myself by ordering the certificates. Still haven't received them yet though, so I don't guess I could sell them now even if I wanted to....but I don't want to. The ones I have left are still enough to make me a millionaire. Anyway, thought I'd tell my story to show that even if somebody really truly believes in a stock, such as I do with DGIV, that sometimes external circumstances....such as paying back a debt...and having enough money to live on....will sometimes still force a sale, even though the person doesn't want to sell. Thanks for listening! Juanita
