PLEASE READ!!!! I wanted to repost a thought I posted earlier. Now that we are back down to earth. A lot of you gave the impression that you were tempted to sell at a buck. Let me present the following in hopes to knock some _cents_ into you. When stocks start trading over a buck things really start to change. The first being the attraction of larger investors. Notice I said investors, not day traders. Secondly, the spreads are no longer a penny. Spreads will reach 3/8 soon. 1/8 over last, 1/8 under last. Now, I realize that some of us are in at .12 or even lower, some of us are in at .75, maybe higher. Let's just use .50 as a nice average cost basis here. Once, the stock is stable above a buck (notice I said once, not if) and the spreads increase proportionaly, you will not think much when you see +1/4 gains, or +1/2. But when you have a cost basis or .50 you fail to realize you just gained 50% or 100% of your original investment!!!! Don't fret if your cost basis is higher than .50, you get the picture. I think the track record of the rocketeers speaks for itself. DGIV? INFE? ICVI? Do us a favor, as well as yourself. Don't sell. You'll regret it later. Cliff Daniel
