Good advice! I put a buy order in for GERN at 19 and I didn't get confirmation right away, i figured it was tough getting shares. This was a warning sign. I cancelled my order right away and stopped playing with GERN, I figured 125% on one stock in a day is good enough! What happens is you get confirmation at some ridiculous price 5 minutes later and the stock is already 1 or 2 points below the purchase price. Then you put an order in to sell and you get the lowest price and by that time the stock is 2 or 3 points above your original purchase price. Silly trading. I like trading stocks that execute orders immediately, kindof like CMGI. Haven't traded that in awhile, is there still shares to short and do you still get immediate confirmations, Joe? NASDBULL

<Since we're all offering advice this weekend; I have a couple tidbits for novices> There's a lot of high fivin' on this thread and rightly so, GERN was a major score. Can I throw in my two cents, even though I never post on this thread? Take some of that GERN money, which was after all a gift, and share it. Things are totally fucked up in Central America after the hurricane, in Russia after the cold war. Kids need food, and a lot of you suddenly have a lot more money than you ever expected to have on Thursday. A call to the Red Cross at 1-800-HELPNOW can let you feel good about what you're doing with the gift, as oppossed to just feeling good about the trade. Thanks, won't bother you again. Jay
