JL, Re: BB you have lowered your entry point from a few months back you may get it or you may wish you had fired when it dipped below 25. When this takes off it will be easy to get left behind I bought when the stock dropped to around $29.50 and sold when it again hit $34, watched it go to about $38 and fall back to these levels, in short order. My strategy is to set $ entry and exit points based on current available information, and I will vary my strategy accordingly. I've found that being somewhat flexible gives me more room to manuever. I did state, some months ago, that I would likely buy below $26, I believe, but with layoffs and other "bad" economic and industry news I elected to lower my next buy in to below $22 sometime in late June or early July. I think I posted it on the board, but know I did in some private messages to certain individuals. In any case, I have also stated that it will take some "positive" industry/economic news to convince me that things are improving, right now I'm not convinced and will wait for my price. Regards, BB
