johnboy, I really think that you are in need of Dan's services, he is a clinical psychologist. Did your sale go through? Send money.

John: re; 'hogs and pigs' Gary Strauss of the USA Today will run another story in Wednesdays paper. Read it for yourself post #8044. Do you feel this will have a negative impact on MINE after todays rise in price; more people are going to get gold fever. IMO you should add a third classification to your pig and hog relationship; that being piglets.

I guess it is time to finally take my account away from etrade. If it is true that some of the people on this thread have been able to sell as high as $1.50 within the last hour, then etrade has, for the second time, done a very poor job for me. I had a very reasonable target of a buck a share and I have not been able to sell any shares, either through speaking to a live broker, or over the internet using etrade. I placed an order to sell 10,000 shares at 1 1/4 an hour ago, it did not execute, when I called back at 11:00 edt, the fellow who answered my call was away for about five minutes and returned with a bid of 7/8ths. Clearly there are people making money on this today, but it is not me. So, even after etrade has made thousands off of me this year in commissions--not even to mention the spread their MM's have made on each trade, I am now looking for a new broker. Any suggestions? Oh and don't worry, they'll get their nasty letter, cc'd to the SEC or whoever is appropriate. This is the second time my trade has not been executed--the last time was when I tried to buy mine the day it ran up. On that day I had an order in to buy 100,000 and watched it march up from less than 1/4 to above 3/8ths--and you know where I finally got mine. The etrade rep said "well, they were probably working the order", I think he meant, "they were probably working you over", hehe. Bottom line, you may be able to make money at this, but somebody else will make a lot more. I shudder to think how much I might have made in MINE if my trades had actually executed--several tens of thousands of dollars likely, rather than $5000 (which is what I will make if I move my order down to that bid of 7/8ths etrade quoted me). Well you have to draw the line somewhere, and so I leave my order in there at a buck--one must keep to his discipline, and although I should have had an extra $2500 for that 1/4x10k, I'll just let the order cook at a buck, which has always been my target. This reserves 5000 shares to have and hold til the whole thing pans out. Of course, since etrade will never execute the order no matter how high this thing goes I guess I'm still in for the full amount. Just terrible, SEC: thanks for nothing.
