I bought in today at 113, On a whim... Am I in for a beating? or is this a good long and short term stock? any opinions would be appreciated. Thinking of stop loss around 105. Are you following the 'Day Traders On-Line' recommendation? I wonder how many people are doing the same. Yikes

NCKEV--- I bought today at 112+. You should not get beat in the short term. Long term I am not qualified to answer as the longest I ever held any issue was 7 months. I plan on being out by 5 trading days and as early as Wed. My DD indicated just what happened with the exception a split announcement was also hoped for. Just the same I am looking for 10 points soon. I have a 105 stop/loss in already though...

NCKEV- Looks like we're partners in crime on this one. I also bought in today, but not exactly on a whim. IMO things can't get much worse (no fundamental evidence), and I'm a long term investor. Even if they did, this is the kind of company that in the long run will make me a happy camper. I've heard too many stories-- I had company XXX ten years ago, and let my emotions get the better of me and sold. Anyways, for what's its worth, hold on, cause in the next few days we'll be experiencing some turbulence. :) p.s. If I was a day trader, I'd put in the stop loss on this one, but I'm not.
