Dont get me wrong but I just dont think ASLI belongs here.If I am not mistaken ASLI is more or less a secondary IPO. I could see ASLI if it was depressed,however, I believe it is up from about 16 which means it has more than doubled and probably overvalued. Aside form the fact that it was down 10.55 % from yesterday morning until about noon 35 is a bit too much for the TASA thread.It would cost about $3500 for 100 shares of ASLI.For $3500 I could buy about 4000 shares of TASA.I think it is entirely in the realm of possibility that TASA will go up at least 1 point from here for a $4000 profit.ASLI would have to go up 40 points at 100 shares for the same profit which is more than double again. Doesnt make much sense to me considering that one doesnt know if the present run-up is due to IPO fervor or what as there are newsletters that recommend and follow only IPOS. If you are trying to say that TASA in the same field could also get to 34 than maybe apples and oranges are being compared because ASLI started at a base of 16 and was probably more before the average investor could buy it.I believe you mentioned that "ASLI has explosive growth" and I havent looked at it but I still dont see how TASA can be compared to it with the little loss it had. Meanwhile I am Long TASA and in a previous message I gave the URL for the NY TImes which allowed NAPEAGUE letter to complete its Mosiac on TASA.I dont like to buy more than 1 Stock in the same Industry so other Education stocks would only interest me if they had more profit potential and gave me more bang for the buck than TASA which I dont think is possible at this time. In closing I mention an article about a week ago in which I believe was OHIO where Parents wanted Teachers tested as they werent at the present time and 56% of them failed the test and many couldnt define the difference between a noun and a verb.I got married 22 years ago to a Woman while I was in ITALY taht has a daughter. At the time she didnt speak English and when we returned home to TEXAS she couldnt read the Tests that were required and Private Schools would not take her because it would have held others back, I had to put here in the sixth grade in Public school which was a grade back for her as she would have gone to the seventh in ITALY. The state of Texas even though she was the sole Italian in this large Public school hired a Teacher who spoke Italian and English to tutor her and she was back to PAR in a year.That is the difference.Meanwhile I am in Florida now and requirements are being tightened and there is more and more dissatisfaction everyday hence the opportunity for stocks like TASA. I just think TASA has the biggest bang for the buck for the reasons mentioned. I did not mean to criticize you personally.Jus think for th above reasons also that ASLI belongs on ASLI. Charles
